Pros

- Really smart people working there - Opportunities to learn new things is good - Decent amount of autonomy - Free Lunch - Culture is decent overall

Cons

- HR/People Operations literally do nothing, do not rely on them for anything - Poor management and top level leadership with poor planning and decision making, which leadership never takes responsibility for - They are not profitable and hemorrhaging cash, per the CEO's own words - Poor pay for the experience - Dwindling benefits that seem to be cut more and more each year - Incredibly disorganized and will constantly move you around - Will not recognize your achievements and look for any excuse to not give you a deserved bonus or raise - Little to no upward mobility, best way to get "promoted" is to leave and come back with more experience, but even then you will likely still be underpaid by at least $20k compared to competitors
