Pros

It's all the perks of working for a tech company (free food, beautiful offices etc.) without feeling evil. People really care about the work they are doing which is motivating.

Cons

Because people are so motivated, you can get sucked into becoming a workaholic. Also, I noticed that different departments/teams are doing a better job at diversity and inclusion than others, and there is a lot of room for improvement.
