Pros

- Great group of smart, kind, and highly motivated people - Lots of company events and many opportunities to bond with co-workers - Interesting product, innovating in the fintech space - Free lunch and dinner and plenty of snacks - AMAZING views of SF and China Town - Great gym stipend and commuter benefits - High growth company with lots of new interesting projects and products in planning

Cons

The only negative I could think of is that sometimes I work more than 40 hours a week. But it isn't a lot more. Also, this isn't because I am forced to. I am just interested in what I am working on.
