Pros

Lots of flexibility. Good CEO. Emphasis on culture, people, & work-life balance. Great benefits especially if you like cars/travel. Entire company gets together twice a year for "turbo week" which is really fun.

Cons

Weak eng leadership. Lots of red tape & obstacles made shipping new features painfully slow. My particular team didn't have a well-established focus, thus we ended up getting pulled into whatever random thing the CTO thought was important at the moment. They have an SF office but it feels like a ghost town except for Wednesdays when they do free catered lunch.

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
