Pros

A company that embraces change better than anyone else, ruthlessly. You can be the source of change voluntarily, with freedom to fail. Great engineering company.

Cons

Company as whole has great vision but deeper into some places: Territorial bureaucracy (roles/teams/org) Loyalist rewards where manipulation thrives WLB trap that works against Innovation, set you up to fail
