Pros

Good company to be at. Smart people, bright ideas, great vision. Truly enjoyed working with the people from all layers (eng, design, PMs, analysts, etc)

Cons

Nervous and "toestepping" environment: people spend too much time on showing off in front of the management instead of doing real work. Too much of the career focus: your teammates can step on your head if you fall down :)

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
