Pros

Very supportive organization full of ambitious people. You will learn a LOT in a short period of time.

Cons

It will burn out most people sooner than later. They structure compensation based on that expectation. Most stock is not granted until 3 to 4 years in. Most people don't make it that long.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
