Pros

+ solution focused and fast decision making which makes the work dynamic and never boring + a lot of autonomy at all levels of the organization + flat organizational structure, it is not about how long you have worked there or your title but about what you contribute + intelligent, passionate, like-minded people that are all dedicated to be better all the time + a lot of different cultures and therefore very international + great facilties like chair massages, food, coffee

Cons

None, it needs to suit you because it is a very distinct and challenging environment, but if it does it feels like a family

Pros

Coworkers work very hard and are very smart (may be a con if you want to get ahead or coast somewhere, this is not that place)

Cons

Politics at many levels, promotions/leveling seem arbitrary Various senior hires made that get paid 2x 4x what people who started out of college and been working a few years make. These senior hires do not contribute 2x or 4x the value
