Pros

Great company, once in a lifetime product to work with. Great team. Employee shares and better than market remunerations.

Some pockets of the company have cultural issues though my team was great. More leadership is now in US

Pros

- Little bureaucracy; you can work on whatever you deem important - Plenty of challenge - Good culture; lots of young bright people

Cons

- Unclear career progression; yearly personal goals are meaningless for getting a promotion, and there’s no career matrix or anything of the sort - Stinginess; it can be difficult to get funds for basic things, such as hardware or software licenses - Unwillingness to allow work from home
