Pros

Product is incredible and the engineering organization is highly innovative - truly a leader in the market. Founders are humble and are people you want to stand behind.

Cons

Growing pains: the last 6-12 months have been a roller coaster of tried and failed processes. Struggle with retention and making employees feel valued - feels like they know that since they are a successful business everyone wants to work for them and they won't have hiring issues, making all current employees feel dispensable.
