Pros

Everyone is driven by a shared mission, everyone is incredibly smart yet willing to be wrong, and there's no cooler place to work

Cons

It's a fast paced environment and that is not for everyone, we are big on individual ownership so be prepared to defend your choices

Pros

* You will work on lots of different projects and get tons of experience in the process. * Stock value has gone up a lot. * Lots of growth opportunities open up quickly. * They don't care as much about politics or other whatever is in the news. Instead we're making the news. * Flexible career growth/trajectory. Allows for management to go back down to single contributor and for quick upwards trajectory too. * They take feedback from anyone and everyone.

Cons

* It is mostly work/work balance. You can have a life but the stated expectation is a minimum of 50 work week. Many co-workers will often bleed way over that expectation btw. * There's a soft requirement to be on-site and you'll probably want to be on-site anyways as it's difficult to work remotely here unless you've been here a while. * Compensation is lower than competition. This is slightly offset by growth opportunities.
