Pros

Lots of smart people to learn from and force yourself to become better, tons of responsibility and freedom in the projects you work on. Very flat organization and decentralized decision making. Very challenging scalability problems. If you love music it's great to work on improving and scaling a product that you use yourself every day.

Cons

Sometimes chaotic due to lack of central coordination and very fast growth, struggling with figuring out how to grow and scale the organization and experiencing a lot of growing pains. Employee benefits could be better.
