Pros

Lots of flexibility, lots to learn, smart engineers.

Cons

Highly political when it comes to high-priority projects. Early employees became senior management who should have stayed individual contributors. There's no career development; you are on your own. Managers see you purely as a resource, not a human being. HR is useless.

Advice to Management

Move out of the way and make space for professional management. You are losing your best talents because you do not know how to lead. Grow from managers of resources to leaders of human beings.
