Pros
Graph is very intuitive and fun.
Cons
Like many tech companies, part of the compensation may be equity. You'll get a number of shares, vesting over 4 years, that are worth "a lot". It turns out that "a lot" is likely < $10/share (liquidity aside). For me, the equity part of the compensation effectively rounded to almost zero. There was also no 401k match. Neo4j has had a couple of rounds of layoffs. That's worth considering if you have a need for financial stability/security. You're exposed to risks you might see in a startup, but minus the upside.
