Business Outlook

Pros

Team is great and the culture is excellent. Common mission and cohesive culture rooted in it's long term growth as a private company.

Cons

Unique in that it just transitioned from privately owned, 20 years or so, to venture backed. Rapid scaling and process friction, but still fun and fast paced.
