Pros

Having fun is one of the company core values, very smart people who are great to work with, open to me working remotely, unlimited PTO, free food, great perks.

Cons

Scattershot strategy - different business units sometimes pull in different directions, putting strain on the groups (like mine) that serve all of them. As groups have grown from start-up mode, they still retain the lightweight business processes that work for small teams. However, in some cases, more structure is needed when teams get larger.
