Pros

Everyone is nice, everyone is smart, [and has an] entrepreneurial attitude.

Cons

Lots of engineers, even senior ones, lack outside experience. It's hard to get anything done outside of established boundaries. Lots of inertia around existing tech and a lack of outside perspective makes it hard to point out problems or suggest solutions outside of expectations.
