Pros

* Smart, passionate peers with tons of experience from leading companies. Not only does it make it an enjoyable place to work, but a great place to develop your skill set * Exciting growth / hype * A ton of trust from management / executive leadership; there are ample opportunities to ask them questions and get real answers; the strategic thinking behind important company decisions is always explained in detail * Flexibility around work schedule (as long as you can get your work done, it doesn't really matter when you do)

Cons

* There's not a lot of room for coasting. It's a place where people work hard. * In eng, we could do with some more diversity, especially around gender. I should qualify by saying: a. Not sure we're worse than most other tech companies b. we have initiatives to address it but still the current situation isn't great.
