Pros

- Relative autonomy to complete necessary work, collaboration where needed - Few meetings, basically no unnecessary meetings - Many smart people - Nice office space, lunch brought in daily, bike room, shower - Fast growth - Flexibility on when to come in / leave the office

Cons

If you like doing the same thing over and over, or having a very well-defined job description, this environment may not be for you. Required to work full time in the office, though the occasional work at home day is ok.

Pros

- very smart engineers/developers - work how you want (Windows/OSX/Linux/Eclipse/IntelliJ/C-x M-c M-Butterfly) - no meetings/micro-management; lots of autonomy - free lunch, game room, beer on tap

Cons

- Already a fair amount of cruft/technical debt in the codebase - Most benefits are really great, but we're still missing 401k matching - Sometimes I enjoy myself too much and forget I'm at work
