Pros

- work life balance - skilled coworkers - opportunities to learn and grow - can collaborate with people on and outside of your team - they provide $$ and equipment to help with home office setup, which is great cause we're remote - no commute - opportunities to travel with team to meet irl.

Cons

- monolith that takes a while to build and run locally, and hard to get it working consistently with thousands of devs committing code - worried that hiring too quickly will change culture
