Pros

You're working for the greater good every day. Loving co-workers from all around the world.

Cons

Too much! Everyone is overworked. Definitely a launch pad for something new because of the burnout. Employee appreciation isn't vocalized but instead small incentives are given. Legacy still exists but internal makeup is toxic.
