Pros

Leadership is accommodating. Environment fosters career development (bother interpersonal and technical). Bi-annual reviews help you adjust and improve quickly. You always know where you stand and how you can improve. Technical work is deep and challenging, you will learn new things and be part of improving a large software system. Mentorship and guidance when you need it, opportunities to mentor others when they need it.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, so there are growing pains organizationally. Decisions require input across multiple teams, that can cause things to move slower at times. This relates to the recent growth of the company -- sometimes decision making processes move slower than you would like.
