Pros

- deeply rooted mission - at the end of the day we are changing people's lives for the better - ideas are valued - you are accountable for everything you do - impact, everyday I can say that I contributed to something. - tons of momentum - lots of opportunity to grow vertically and horizontally within the company - new, very experienced and respected leadership

Cons

- we're getting bigger and with that comes a lot of testing, learning and iterating. So be prepared for being a part of that. Perfection doesn't happen on the first try. - processes are not as ironed out as it is at Google or Facebook - small company feel is turning into mid-size company feel
