Pros

- The people - The office - Swag

Cons

- Relies heavily on equity (which their stock price has tanked more than half from when I started) for offers and uses it as an excuse to under pay people - Underpays everyone - Have to talk about growth on calls with candidates, but really it's hard and rare to get promotions across all departments - Not very flexible in a time where companies need to be flexible - Bro culture - Lots of turnover
