Pros

The level of talent and drive among the engineering team is above and beyond anywhere else I have ever worked. Everyone is extremely passionate about what they do. The company culture is great and very transparent internally. Free catered food breakfast lunch and dinner.

Cons

The company seems to be becoming more corporate as it gets larger. The safety and HR corporate types are creeping in, and they are major fun police. The company was way more interesting pre-public offering.
