Business Outlook

Pros

Best part is the people. At work, everyone is super smart, talented, motivated, and collaborative. Definite team environment. Outside of work, everyone is young and friendly and hangs out together. Lots of interesting problems to solve, tons of ownership as an APM/PM from day one, owning complete features and products and getting entrusted to make your product successful. Super competitive compensation, great benefits, fun in-office perks.

Cons

Growing company with additional offices makes it hard to keep everyone in the loop. Occasional long hours.
