Pros
A lot of very brilliant and driven people
Cons
One of the worst experiences of my career and life in general. You're not really hired as a full time employee, it's more like you've become a piece of DQ's furniture that she will move around at any time depending on how she feels that day. Compensation is terrible and you're treated an intern - there's a pervasive culture of fear below anyone who isn't a partner. Despite running the ASU+GSV Summit, the firm isn't really taken that seriously by other EdTech VCs because it is so chaotic and hectic that it can't perform basic functions. It is a revolving door as the partners have a way of bringing out the absolute worst in people - I would strongly suggest reaching out to former employees about their experience here before accepting the job. There is only one nice partner and it won't take you too long to figure out who he is. Culture is also very pretentious and elitist, won't hire anyone from a non-prestigious school, which is fine but hypocritical given the rhetoric about education. If you have a normal communication style, you just won't fit in here, the people are all insane and you have to be insane too in order to succeed.
