Pros

Culture drives proactive, results-driven behavior. Focus on independent actions and individual accountability. Reasonably flexible work environment.

Cons

Need fresh blood esp in management. "Old Guard" is suffocating and has lead to nepotism. Change is slow coming and hard won. For a still small-ish company, compared to competitors like Oracle, MSFT, and IBM, the politics are astounding. Poor, ineffective managers are allowed to continue in their rolls without being replaced or re-trained.
