Pros

Innovative work environment. Lot's of highly skilled people who are happy to share and learn together.

Cons

Terrible track record with middle and upper management. High percentage of people in positions of power were first-timers. Very real world experience or maturity in the leadership; resulting in competition within the company rather than externally. Lot's of posturing and land-grabbing.
