Pros

Performance oriented - you either move forward or you are let go. This is great for career / compensation opportunities. Nice location. Peers are above average intelligence and capability.

Cons

Not a diverse workforce. HR is a little tone deaf. Organization is very fluid. It's a struggle to get some people to follow modern best practices.

Pros

Great culture. Lot's of opportunities for growth. "Transparency" from upper management. Awesome company mission. I have never woken up and dreaded going to work (unlike many of my previous job's I've held).

Cons

There is a lot of change as it's a newer company. I am personally in the Austin office, and there is a bit of a "disconnect" with what is going on in the Santa Monica office at times.
