Pros
+ The problem we're solving (college education gap amongst diverse backgrounds) is a real problem, and our product is enriching many lives, which is extremely rewarding + Everyone on the team is passionate about education and the work we are doing + Small team where everyone has trust and responsibility + Brilliant co-workers and great leadership + Friends! We're not cult-ish like many startups, but some of us get ice cream together on Sundays (our Ice Cream Sundae) and we do quarterly get-aways and all have fun together. + We care about our customers and our technology, and do our best to do things the right way + Compensation is great, especially the equity given that we're Post-Series-A + Company values are strong and we're very transparent...CEO even takes each employee to lunch about once a month to solicit feedback and discuss the company!
Cons
Growing pains inherent in many startups: too much we want to do and not enough people to do it all now.
