Pros

Recent salary comparing to other companies, cutting edge technology you can work with. You learn plenty, earn well and net some really great people.

Cons

On the other hand, everything you do competes with multiple other priorities, The company lacks clear direction and tries everything at once. This leads to harsh politics, pressure and chaos at times.
