Pros

Few people are genuinely good. Very good Hardware and Execution performance.

Cons

Basic pricing and strategies. Privately owned with no option to invest your own money or give equity to employees so you'll never feel it's your company. Managers used to be the best engineers/traders and this doesn't necessary mean a good leader or manager. High pressure and demand to deliver a lot with high quality in short time and then they point fingers when bugs are discovered here or there. It feels like working for an immature company and in thee same time it doesn't offer similar to startups (equity/stocks, true autonomy, and full ownership). Review cycle and your bonus can easily be influenced by politics and favoritism.
