Pros

Some really smart people who are the top of their field. Fairly flexible approach to working Good Technology Infrastructure internally to enable the above.

Cons

Attempts to outsource to developing nations means those teams are isolated from the rest of the other teams, those teams don't understand how the company operates, what is key and important, and what is more trivial, and who the clients are. Technology can only innovate if you employ the best people, you cannot find these unless you get them from the best places. Mumbai is not good enough.
