Pros

- True agile development - Great option as a first company. Work with some of smartest people you can find. - No team hierarchy. Everyone is heard and their opinions are valued.

Cons

- Expectation to deliver in a small time frame leading to hacky solutions rather than long term maintainable solutions.
