Pros
They strategically hire people with shared cultures and values that align with the company's, so it's very easy to get along with employees across different departments and offices who start to feel like friends rather than just coworkers. Despite that sort of hivemind, everyone still brings unique and diverse opinions and strategies that make teamwork and collaboration enjoyable. Questions and help are welcomed by everyone without feeling like you're bothering them.
Cons
Mergers and acquisitions are a very heavy focus. Getting acquired firms' employees to transition to how Sequoia works at an operational level is a slow process and creates a lot of confusion and miscommunication.
