Pros
It's a 'hot' company, that's about all.
Cons
Blind technology leadership, not invented here attitude towards standard open source technologies. For example the 'open sourced' Zoie project implements a cheap hack for realtime search using Lucene, that was presented to and rejected by Twitter. Voldemort is yet another copy of Amazon's Dynamo, however it falls far short of Cassandra. LinkedIn has numerous open source and internal projects that show technology comes last, egos, first.
