Pros

The absolute best aspect of my time working at the company was the people. This the largest collection of really bright, really motivated people. It made me a better person to work with them each day.

Cons

Some mis-interpretation of the culture. While the culture is over-blown in the media, there are definitely times where folks - especially newer managers - don't get it and end up implementing it poorly. When they go to give critical feedback it comes off as them being more of a jerk then legitimately trying to help you grow (which is the intention and is generally what happens)
