High growth company, great place to build a career, has its aches and pains as it has grown.

Pros

The company has experienced a lot of growth which has allowed for getting to work on very interesting projects with many users.

Cons

Typical high growth start-up with a lot of first-time managers. With much success also comes politics for individuals to navigate. The company has had a hard time living its core values internally, externally, though, I believe the product continues to deliver on the company's values.
