Pros

Great culture around supporting and helping each other, Lots of smart folks to learn from Interesting point in company growth curve, big enough for lots of challenges that are not available in many other places but still small enough where individuals can have a big impact Best unity and clarity of vision of anywhere I've worked. Never have to ask "why are we working on this?"

Cons

Can be a bit chaotic. Company gives individuals and teams very wide discretion on almost everything which is great, but comes with some inconsistency and confusion across teams sometimes.
