Pros

* A company full of wicked smart yet humble folks, great collaborative spirit, lots of contagious enthusiasm * Extremely transparent, truth seeking, bias for action culture - so many ways and opportunities to make your mark * So many interesting and unique technical, business, and customer challenges that come with working on a large-scale data platform - you will never be bored, and if you are, there's always something else to work on

Cons

* The product itself is moving fast, changes can be overwhelming, knowledge management is a neverending game of whack-a-mole * A ton of organizational growing pains as we've gone from 500 to 5,000 employees, sometimes overly vague reorgs, shifting career ladders, false starts at some programmatic rigor, I expect this to continue as we grow
