Pros

- Mission oriented, inspiring everyday work and guiding employees - Great benefits and perks, nice office space - Some brilliant minds, great people - Data driven, making sure what is being built is right - Fast growth, successful company

Cons

- Lots of growing pain - Values are being distorted, transformed into a internal tool for marketing material. - Many hires simply don't fit the company values. - Top down decisions. - Too many processes. - Too many meetings. - Poor documentation. - Diversity in the IC level, not in higher management. - Average compensation. Overall, still a great company to work, if know how to ignore some problems.

Great company full of very talented and driven people. Awesome mission and leadership.

Startup culture, so hours can vary (not your typical 9-5), should be passionate about the company.
