Pros

As other people have said, everyone you work with here is at the top of their game -- succeeding here is to succeed anywhere. You can build autonomously -- there is not a ton of bureaucracy, you have the ability to directly impact users and work on visible features. Very fast paced development -- a couple of weeks from idea to rollout is usual. The features you build here are used by a huge number of people.

Cons

You need to be very effective at managing your time; a day can seem to go by in an instant with such a busy schedule. There are so many things happening and things move so quickly it can be a challenge to maintain proficiency with the full stack.

Pros

The best and the smartest people I have ever worked with. It was hard to leave my job to start a startup, got great friends over there who helped too much.

Cons

The pace is too high (pros for many), but some people got over stressed because of the pace which arises because of expansion oriented approach. For me it turned out to be a healthy challenge which prepared me for my startup.

Thanks for your feedback. Take the time to take a break and relax! We do work hard but be honest with your manager when you need some recharge time!
