Pros

Incredible people -- truly kind, generous and also insanely and humbly smart. A rare find to have both. Everyone cares about the work, the team, their coworkers. Very transparent. I feel like we can all also be our own true selves and not have to hide our quirks to "fit in." Very inclusive.

Cons

Fast-moving, so the ability to be nimble is pivot quickly is important. Endless bounty of food...easy to gain wait. Sometimes too transparent, to where individuals who may not need to be privy to information is -- can create need for a bit more communication/expectation setting. But, everyone is also mature about it.
