Pros

People are great - smart, motivated, energetic. The product is the next big thing. There is no way not to be psyched about where this is going.

Cons

The management is dysfunctional, lots of people are really unhappy - especially in engineering. There is no vision for engineering. No one will say anything about it though because they are afraid: people who speak up get fired.
