Pros

Great, fast moving product and brand recognition. Intelligent coworkers.

Cons

The company is designed from the ground up to push customers and incentivizes them to stay there rather than transition to enterprise. Little to no investment in sales process, or data so ops has no idea what makes a good account. Brutal sales culture with no manager discretion on firing.

The upsides don't outweigh the downsides

Pros

Great mission - build a better internet - using languages like Go. The CEO is visionary - definitely has an understanding of what the market wants. The company blog is followed and often picked up by the press. The company is also growing fast.

Cons

Very toxic culture - very much a cult of personality. Most of the first engineers hired have left the company. Either you are loved by the CEO or hated - there is no other way to get promotions or more money. No one on the 'executive' team has any management experience.
