Pros

Fun environment, cool product, good leadership team

Cons

They have absolutely no work/life balance. They do not understand the importance of remote work and demand you be in the office every day. They are not understanding the world that we live in today and they push their employees too hard. If you have a family or a life I would steer clear.
