Pros

Good passionate people who actually care. Strong mission. Good growth of company overall and depending on the department and manager, can be a very good experience.

Cons

A lot depends on where you are in the company and who your manager is. Work life balance can be very bad, growth opportunities can be bad. Sucks to watch other departments have a great time and yours doesn't.

Pros

Humble and transparent leadership team. Everyone has a voice. Cross departmental friendships and communication are plentiful and creates a great culture both in and outside of the office place.

Cons

Going through hyper-growth and sudden success comes with a lot of pressure and requires a lot of energy. Most, including myself love it. But it's not for everyone, you have to be willing to come in and really work, but it's worth it.
