      Pros

      growth, growth, growth - growth brings tremendous opportunity to move up if you perform well long term vision - Jeff B makes it clear that short term stock market fluctuations do not matter ability to make a change - if you have a good idea and are persistent, you can change a lot

      Cons

      work life balance, because of growth lot of ambiguity and corresponding stress and long hours. On the whole pretty satisfying experience with good opportunity for growth - but the cost is personal life and work life balance

      Pros

      Company offers many opportunities. There is a smart workforce and strong focus on execution. There is minimal hierarchy which allows the ability to get things done quickly. There is a good opportunity to be exposed or work internationally.

      Cons

      There is minimal time and support for ramp-up. There are overly high and sometimes unrealistic expectations of employees performance and the scope of responsibilities assigned to them. There is an up or out mentality. There is limited focus on training and development
