Pros

Surrounded by brilliant people committed to delivering excellent work above all else. Incredibly high bar for quality and a "whatever it takes" attitude towards getting there. Once you are established there is a lot of opportunity to forge your own path. Entrepreneurial environment where you are expected to find the problems to be working on and go after those.

Cons

The other side of the delivering excellent work above all else equation is people work really really hard and there are periods in which it can be a grind. The culture is not for everyone, if you don't handle ambiguous expectations and directions well and don't have a self-starter disposition towards work you may get stuck.

Pros

Surrounded by bright, talented, ambitious coworkers, there’s always room to grow and add value or have more $$ or responsibly.

Cons

Principles are used as weapons to win arguments, and adhering to them is more about the metrics than the spirit.
