Pros

Great environment and team members. Challenging problems to solve and you get to own the entire end to end chain. some people see this as a burden I see it as valuable experience. Close to the city makes it very easy to access people and places. Work on problems that need to scale

Cons

Can be a little disorganized at times due to the sheer growth of the company but I think they are doing a good enough job considering.
