Pros

Talented folks on the team, awesome CEO Good future potential for becoming a big company with a very important technology Great valuation progress if you have a meaningful stock option grant

Cons

The company feels much too top heavy for this size of company with 3 "Chairmen/Vice Chairman", a CEO and a CTO/Co-Founder who kind of acts like another Chairman/CEO NY/CA co-HQ is not ideal - it is a way to get a little better talent maybe for a few positions early on but I think may have caused more harm than helped Because the company is high-profile, they are attracting talent that has done the same jobs (or bigger jobs before) before so opportunities for advancement for others are quite limited for those already here except more junior promotions The culture includes vocal complaining by various folks about the smallest of issues

Working at a Company That's Out to Do Something Big

Pros

What I'm doing actually matters. What the company is doing actually matters. And it's nice to work at a company where your users love the product.

Cons

Given how fast-growing we are, things are always in motion. You have to have a certain tolerance for ambiguity, a willingness to adapt, and the desire to roll up your sleeves.
