Pros

High energy start-up environment with full financial backing (at the inception). Apple environment. Upper management was very transparent and communicative. Fun product. Supported the community through volunteer efforts and daily job activity.

Cons

Start-up environment with push to become profitable. Did not scale as originally projected. Many changes to the comp plan.
