Pros

Most uniformly high-quality team I've ever worked with. Can't think of any dead weight. Great chairs, uniform hardware, free soft drinks, fantastic friday night drinks. Brilliant culture. Inspiring leaders and a uniform vision. Flexible working hours and minimum bureaucracy.

Cons

High pressure, very hard to leave work at work. Public and Global means there's always someone awake and emailing (although you aren't expected to reply outside hours, many do). So much going on it can be hard not to feel swamped. Processes always changing as we scale, 'no rules' is good but can be bewildering. Red tape creeping in as people start to cover their butts.

Pros

Awesome work culture. You get to meet everyone from every team in the company. Every one are so helpful. Even the people from different teams will help you to achieve your tasks. Even the managers are so helpful. Perks: Wednesday Lunch, Friday Happy hours.

Cons

I haven't faced anything negative in the company.
