Pros

* Amazing talent: A lot of people in leadership and senior IC positions that are ex-Google and ex-Facebook. I have worked at other large tech companies, but I have never seen such a concentration of talent in one place. * Compensation: one of the best in the market. * Tech driven: all the founders are extremely technical and they understand technology from bottom to the top. Same goes for the middle management. It makes it much easier to have conversations with the management or anyone in the leadership. They understand the ground reality. * Interesting challenges: if you like to get yourself challenged, this is the place to be.

Cons

* As the company is growing, so are the number of processes. Sometimes these processes can slow you down in the short run, but they are in place for the long term velocity and that we make the right choices.
