Pros

Lots of exposure to get new experiences. Very technical engineers. You will learn lots if you are willing to hustle.

Cons

The solution here to everything is to throw more engineers at it. Creates a rather one dimenisional way of thinking. Speed seemed to be prioritized more than qualtiy. Quality came after shipping through large amounts of time spent on bug fixing. This ultimately is a workstyle though. But I personally do not like shipping that fast just to fix later. I prefer a little more quality and foresight.
