Pros

Incredible C-Suite Leadership TRULY devoted folks who love building a great product. Constant change. The product is always evolving, we're always innovating, and creating new products.

Cons

If you do not like to work hard and move fast - probably not the place for you. For the large majority most decisions are fast and it's all about prioritizing how we can be better. However, there are plenty of other jobs where you can just work 1/2 the time and do way less. Since the company has made some strong acquisitions, and brought in some great leaders at various levels, you most likely won't get promoted ever which is a hard pill for people to swallow.
