Pros

The people are brilliant yet humble, the challenging work gives you valuable skills and experience, the CEO is a good person, free food, incredible mission and product - feels like making history

Cons

Work life balance is getting better as we grow out of our "startup" phase, but there still can be long days before big milestones, so don't be surprised if you need to work past 5. We are constantly growing, which can feel disorganized and chaotic at times.
