Pros

Lots of intelligent people to work with High professional standards Decent compensation (after a few years) Challenging problems

Cons

Lots of growing pains Sub-par technology Unquestioning acceptance of The Principles Institutionalized willingness to flay people emotionally in search of "the truth" Hard to function if you don't agree with the accepted wisdom Cultish attitudes towards the founder Uneven management and culture unintentionally encourage witch hunting Lots of stuff (like backstabbing) ostensibly counter to company principles, but still happens
