Pros

- Freedom and trust by default: autonomy in how you design, execute, and deliver, with leaders focused on outcomes over micromanagement - Strong ownership culture: engineers drive decisions end to end and are encouraged to take initiative - Smart, kind teammates who collaborate well across time zones and functions

Cons

- Fast pace can be intense during peak delivery periods - Cross-team coordination can take time as the org scales, so proactive communication matters
