Pros

One of the most striking things I noticed when I joined (compared to my previous employer) was the sense of purpose that everyone shared in the company. People actually believe in what they're saying, and everyone rallies around common goals. This wasn't always the case, and it has take a few years to get here, but now more than ever, everything in the company is clicking together.

Cons

As with any young company, it goes through frequent changes internally. But these have been getting fewer and farther in between lately.

Pros

Everyone is awesome! My team is very helpful, they really know what they're doing and they seem to really like it here.

Cons

Not really a "work hard, play hard" kind of place. Also, I feel weird because most of them are 30-something. I expect the median age to be younger.
