Pros

Amazingly innovative place. Endless fun and new projects to work on. Very independent culture where there is a lot of leeway in how much you work, what you work on, and what you prioritize.

Cons

Organization is very flat, unstructured, and political leading to challenges in decision making. Leadership is weak and does not make decisions well individually and as a group. Upward career paths are very limited for junior and mid junior individuals.
