Pros

— high concentration of 'sparkly' and brilliant folks, higher than bell curve at most companies — strong sense of community, genuine relationships and meaningful investment in their cultivation — great challenge, if you can make it here you can make it most places — 'bubble' is very cozy, perks, pay, advancement opportunities, etc.

Cons

— 'getting stuff done' takes a while, huge burden of proof to accomplish small things — skills/development doesn't correlate well to outside world, particularly for young hires will take a lot of explaining to line up career trajectory
