Pros

Some of the smartest people I have worked with solving hard problems. Lots of leeway to work on interesting projects.

Cons

Compensation was below market. Overall company did not manage people well and many managers should have been individual contributors or were in the wrong roles, for example, most of the time there were 2-4 of the same projects being worked on by different teams that were not communicating - effectively creating paralyzing conflict - chaos. Team members were shuffled around based on team need, rather than aligned with skills and experience. Company was also plagued by constant employee turnover.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
