Pros

Amazing core values Process oriented Responsive people Encourages continual learning Lot of events/things for not getting saturated

Cons

Everything is home grown. I'm keeping this in con because when new people step in, it takes some time for them to ramp up. There are great people and solid structures to quickly ramp up though.
