Pros

Great company making a great product and building an amazing team. I really enjoy the work i do mostly because of the team.

Cons

be prepared to work hard and long hours (not really a con). if you're not on your game, get out of the way. that being said, the hours don't seem that bad when you feel like you contribute to something important

Pros

the money the money the money the shares the money.. pre ipo, everyone thinking of their gians

Cons

some people. only 3 but nasty. they sit there observing, making notes and spying on you, reporting back to HQ. others are just aggressive - shouting in your face, trying to intimidate you - they are so small and ignorant, will never learn and have nothing of merit to say. how did they even get employed? if you believe all the + reports, ask why there are no negative ones - if you believe in these then u must also believe in fairies.
