Pros
Great for those who fundamentally want to spend their waking hours changing the wold & are willing to put in the effort. * The vision is audacious & world-changing - truly centered on changing the world for the better * Teammates are the smartest, kindest, most passionate, mission-driven group anywhere. No office politics or infighting - everyone cares about the mission 1st & foremost * This is a place to do your life's work - There is no end to the work to be done, the challenges to surmount, or the impact you can have It's not for everyone, but if the above sound appealing, there *is no better place* for you.
Cons
This is not the place for you if: * You want an easy job * You care more about yourself than the mission (e.g. you want a lot of $$$, a fancy title, a comfortable lifestyle, etc) * You want to ride a startup rocket ship to cash out & retire when it goes public
