Pros

- Catered launches are fantastic - Open policy on remote work - Competitive salary and benefits - Extremely smart coworkers, across departments - Great ideas and technology, with great potential for growth - Products and new product plans are in a set of verticals I actually care about - Great value placed on your skills and eye as a photographer - Gear heaven

Cons

Coming in right before the pivot, I'd settled into a set of priorities. While the post-pivot shift leans towards a set of directions which enthuse me, the roller coaster emotional ride has been a touch unsettling. This will even out with time, and with successes.

Cons

- You'll find yourself working non-stop, among people that work non-stop - Like any startup, tons of stuff thats broken and needs fixing

Pros

The people are top notch. Some of the best talent around in many roles. As with many start ups, most people end up wearing multiple hats. This gives one great opportunities to learn and grow. Working environment and culture is great too. Beautiful office and a very open collaborative environment matches the team oriented approach of the people here. New CEO has done a great job keeping people focused and marching to schedules. This is very important given the complexity of the product. The great culture that was in place has only been enhanced under him.

Cons

Very much a startup in that there is a lot of fast paced decision making, which I liked but may not be for everyone.
