Pros

+ Great Mission + Well meaning people + Lots of freedom +Competitive pay + No annual or semi-annual churn of merit bonus (see also cons on this)

Cons

+ Growing pains + Not family friendly benefits or hours + Lots of room to grow - if you are at mid-career or lower. More senior folks will struggle with upward movement + Lousy commuter benefits + Hard if you don't live in San Fran + HR is unclear about how to get promoted + Lack of merit bonus keeps people less motivated on ownership - people spend a crazy amount of energy trying to *not* be the decision maker
