Pros

- Looks great on your CV - Good technical exposure - Decent salary

Cons

- Current leadership is weak - People get managed out for political reasons - Roles are not only given for merits but for who you know - Lots of ambition but no clear vision - Lots of churn - Lots of pressure - Your options will get diluted and lose their value - Options offered require you to execute and pay for strike price + tax as soon as you leave so you have to unload a lot of money for something that might never become anything. - not that many perks, even snacks at the office are scarce, people almost fight to get em

Love working here, they've enabled me to do some of my best work

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

- Super smart people to learn from and work with - Everyone here cares a lot about their work, there's a real sense of pride and passion - The level of engineering excellence still surprises me every day. It's very hard to keep the balance of moving this quickly and still producing robust software.

Cons

- Risk of burnout if you're not careful - Lack of management resource can sometimes be annoying but generally this comes from having a 'handholding' management expectation due to the size of the company/how fast it's growing
