Pros

- Cut edge technologies - Friendly and supportive people - Good remuneration - Remote-friendly - Very dynamic environment

Cons

- Very dynamic environment - added it here as cons as well as sometime too many changes are happening around :) - Management does it best to have some control over business path and vision, however pretty often huge changes happen -> so teams should adapt it pretty fast working of on-going initiative at the same time.
