Pros

- you'll never work with such talented people - pay to effort ratio is amazing for tech (not so much outside tech) - if you like cleaning up: the tech.- and org. debt are unmatched

Cons

- culture of 'who can be the most humble' personality cult - old-fashioned, industrial management, dressed as 'autonomy', coupled with weak business- (not customer) centric product management. - reorgs upon reorgs, driving out team players and giving opportunities to the selfish.
