Pros

Some really great people, especially among the senior engineers. Casual work environment. Low drama.

Cons

The application of scrum and other planning processes is hamfisted and dogmatic; Totally prevents the teams from improving themselves. Decisions are made either randomly, based on laziness, or using highest paid person's opinion. Using data or experiments to make decisions is barely given lip-service. They've not nailed down roles and responsibilities in any job role and almost completely lack the ability to remove the few toxic individuals or poor performers. Their hiring strategy is nonsense. Managers have hardly any autonomy, expectations, or defined responsibilities. Directors make up a big crony culture and play favorites. Meanwhile they don't develop their people or expect that of their reports.
