Pros

It's a startup so because resources are limited it forces you to get creative in your solutions. You also get to expand you knowledge base to areas you would have otherwise never been exposed to. Incredibly knowledgeable and experienced BD team with awesome engineers and product managers.

Cons

It's still a start up so resources to tackle problems are thin which sometimes can feel limiting and frustrating.
