Pros

They say they're a startup in interviews, but that depends on the team. Some guy brings bread in on Mondays, and it's amazing.

Cons

Not many, sometimes urgent deadlines, but mostly not that.

All in all, a great place to work, but there is no clear sense of direction. Priorities shift too often, which makes it difficult to make meaningful progress toward long-term technical objectives.
