Pros

Freedom, openness, company culture. Internally you can express almost any view on any topic and it will be treated with respect and often many responses! Many original thinkers in the company. Although growing larger still a company with heart. A unique software company.

Cons

Growth is creating challenges. Open-source culture is challenging to get things done in a reasonable timeframe.
