Pros

Late stage startup, low risk of not IPO'ing Good folks to work with in some pockets (look for the right one)

Cons

CEO is a product/sales/marketing guy - hence great product fit. Engineering org setup as 2 verticals and against each other which leads to VERY VERY high amount of politics for a pre-IPO company - good look getting something done in reasonable time. Poor leadership in one engineering vertical who say all the right things and that's about it - no doing. Heavy dilution, low option grants and insulting refreshers - years of waiting for IPO may not pay off.

Pros

-CEO is extremely forward-thinking, but still seems very genuine and practical. That culture trickles down. -Great customer solutions, so I can compete toe-to-toe and know that it doesn't have to start with pricing concessions, politics and FUD around competition, to obscure product shortcomings. -Benefits are outstanding, IMO. -There seem to be many opportunities to advance, and I have seen a lot of internal promotions in my first 30 days. -Culture is great, and has a strong foundation, but I can already see some polish wearing off at the employee level. You can't put wrong people in place and expect them to pay it forward.

Cons

-I have offered up three referrals and not one has received any follow-up outside of the confirmation email. -No 401K match, but I hear rumors.
