A great startup experience

Pros

The people and culture, dedication to the product and company, open communication to a level that rarely exists at other places, great perks (free food, excellent insurance, 401k and commuting benefits). I genuinely enjoy spending time with the people I work with.

Cons

Consistently understaffed, can get stressful due to workload+time constraints . All this being said, it is a startup and to some degree that's to be expected. If you want to work at an easy job with little chance of a big upside, go work for a huge corporation.

Pros

Start writing production code on day one

Cons

Still a small team so everything hasn't been figured out yet. But that is also part of the fun.
