Pros

People here know how to solve problems at all levels of complicated distributed systems. No matter what kind of obscure knowledge you are looking for about how to make software run fast, somebody knows it or will write the code to learn it. And they can explain it well.

Cons

Zero hand holding, you are expected to be able to manage your own time and keep up with the ambitious schedule of features and customer needs. If you want a pumpkin carving contest look for a bigger company.
