High speed of developing code and pushing code to production.
Fairly good transparency to see how your code is affecting the business.
Cons: - Decreased compensation post-IPO (compared to pre-IPO compensation).
- Leads lacking management skills (although this is improving).
- Slowly trending towards increased corporate bureaucracy as the company is growing, rather than maintaining the startup-like culture.
