Pros

- inspiring CEO - highly talented people - great compensation plan with RSUs and ESPP that paid off big time

Cons

- some orgs are stuck in a legacy working mode, with highly territorial managers, overhead that crawls everything down to a stop, and low morale among employees - some people are clearly just tagging along waiting for their RSUs to vest, but not contributing much or trying very hard.
