Pros

Incredibly smart people. Impressed by the CEO (who knows the industry cold), the VP of Eng (strong technically and really cares about mentoring his engineers), and all the technical leads/managers. This is one of the rare companies that has <100 people but >$100M in revenue and real infrastructure problems (TBs of data per day, >200K QPS traffic/day). You get a ton of ownership of the problems and work at real Webscale. Not a dinky-little startup.

Cons

The company is growing quickly and learning how to go from "small startup" to "medium-sized company". Communication isn't perfect yet.

Pros

Very high quality engineering team. World class execs who have been around the block with a great founder/CEO at the helm. Execs also handle difficult situations with great integrity. VP of Eng Wade Chambers is great at developing engineers and engineering leaders. Company on path to becoming big, but has potential to be worth multiple billions. It's exciting to be part of small team that has generated massive amounts of value for customers, and can shape the path of this company's future - whether we're $XXXM or $XB or $XXB.

Cons

Small team means each engineer owns significant chunk of the system so it can be high pressure sometimes especially when things don't work, or when it's crunch time (i.e. holiday season). Carrying pager is not very fun, altho the team tries hard to make sure bad pager rotations are exception not norm. Commuting from SF takes 20 - 40 min depending on traffic. Mean prob around 27 min. If you live near Caltrain you can use the company's free Caltrain passes.
