Pros

If you want to be on the forefront of neurotechnology they are definitely working on interesting things here. Lunch and Dinner provided Casual, Friendly office.

Cons

Paid below what you could elsewhere for a similar role. Lot's of work and not a lot of people so expect a busy workload. Small teams so if you don't like a team member have fun :) If you don't like slack, too bad.
