Pros

Dogs, catered lunch, and a growing market.

Cons

Egos follow an exponential growth curve, while talent has more or less stabilized. The company will mark you as an outcast if you do not conform to their technology decisions and practices, especially anything to do with Django ;). The company is at the whim of their investors, so don't expect to have your opinion heard ... or even considered for that matter.

Good work-life balance, collaborative engineering culture, dogs, two-sided marketplace is an interesting product to work on, forward-thinking about AI tools.

Cons

As the overwhelming market leader in the space (RIP Wag!), there is maybe some complacency.
