Pros

Fast paced, adrenaline filled work environment. Expect to have real projects from the moment you start with aggressive timelines. Very fulfilling to look back on but always stressful at the time. This job is not for everyone but if this job is for you, you won't be happy anywhere else. Other reviews suggest compensation is not enough, however, this is would only be true if you make shortsighted decisions related to the stock compensation.

Cons

Being let go is always a risk but this keeps people sharp and focused. Again, some people would not do well in an environment like that but it drives me to push harder.
