- Individuals on teams are generally great people to work with. - Everyone is here for their love of open source and software.

Cons

- Sometimes over-reaching leadership and lack of process. - Constant sense of urgency but also sudden changes to plans. - Approach to customer centered design is uneven and cherry picked. - Distrust between leadership and employees, disconnected and out of touch.
