Pros for Stipe: hire a lot of people at once, hire a bunch of people who are probably working well together.<p>Cons for stripe: risk of the team bringing not only their previous company culture, but also their group micro culture. Risk of all of them leaving Stripe all at once (they did it once).<p>Pros for the new team: I can&#x27;t think of any, I&#x27;ve never been in a group where I thought everybody was great (and beside I see meeting new people as a perk of changing job).
