Pros

The smartest group of people I've even been part of. DPR knows how to hire the cream of the crop. Relative to other GCs, the pay is good.

Cons

By virtue of the fact that there is little micromanagement (which is a good thing in general), individuals with drive and smarts can do great things on their with virtually no internal constraints. The problem is, when they do so, they company reaps most of the benefits and the individual only reaps marginal benefits. By benefits I mean salary, bonus and recognition. Great place to get paid decently while learning how to excel at something profitable, while unfortunately not seeing much of the profit yourself.
