1. Strong pool of talent 2. Teams can be very flat and everyone chips in

Cons

1. For new employees, a lot is left to chance about getting in with a team you gel with early -- has a great deal of impact on your future trajectory with the firm 2. There isn't always a clear pathway to help new employees ramp up with a strong first project
