Pros

People are awesome, the company is full of A-players. People know what they are doing. Collaboration between teams is actively encouraged. It is possible to spearhead projects even if you are relatively new since there is so much to do. You will learn a lot if you work here.

Cons

Less transparency than before since company is getting bigger, but that is to be expected. There is pressure to perform.
