Pros
- Smart coworkers who are enjoyable to be around - Plenty of interesting problems to work on - Crazy growth opportunities if you're a new grad hire - The kool aid is kinda worth drinking ngl - The CEO has crazy aura and will likely be one of those famous meme CEOs like Elon/Palmer Luckey/Alex Karp etc. within another ten years (which is good for your equity nowadays I guess).
Cons
- Too much uninteresting work at times - Leadership tends to chase butterflies a lot, from the frontlines it feels like there's zero commitment to a clear long-lasting vision over a 1+ year time range - Many teams are really in KTLO mode due to the above but won't be up front about it during interviewing - Dual-use might be a turn-off if you don't wanna work at a company that's building killer drones / etc
