Pros

Started when company was a startup. Best startup ever. First 500-1000 hired - super bright, motivated. Pre-IPO EVERYTHING was amazing.

Cons

Company has lost sight of many of it's best attributes as a startup. Growing too fast, quality of employees has dropped a lot, filled with spoiled, entitled, just-out-of-school'ers. Lot of inequities of pay and position, many get moved up latter too fast and for the wrong reasons, much talent is overlooked and either is, or will soon be moving elsewhere. Personally interviewing now.

Pros

Generally great smart people with high integrity. Huge growth = opportunities for effective people.

Cons

Getting big and harder to get things done. By now it takes more time to communicate and agree on change than to code it. Some of the newer hires don't get how to collaborate and work with others or how to DO vs. direct. Group think causes a lot missteps - though people are smart enough and work hard enough to adjust and fix. Of course this is better than analysis paralysis.

Pros

Great culture and product keep this company growing. Tremendous customer appetite for the product. Great managers who really look after their people. Company can be very generous. Overall extremely pleased with my choice and have remained for 5 years. It's truly a great opportunity

Cons

Silos between product and services and skill sets are not often appreciated internally when transferring. Recent joiners may not be as passionate about the product.
