Pros

Amazing culture, great people who care about one another. CEO truly cares about the people.

Cons

As all fast growing businesses, the pace is fast and you need to be able to adapt and have grit. This is not a company for people who do better in a slower environment. But the outcome and reward of working with great folks is worth it.
