Pros
The people are awesome, everyone works hard and is not afraid to challenge the status quo in order to build great products. The user base is growing very quickly, which provides scary but fun engineering challenges and also means morale is typically very high. It's still an exciting phase in the history of the company even though we're now owned by PayPal.
Cons
Some of the technical team early on were inexperienced in terms of writing maintainable, well-unit-tested code and there's still some tech debt to recover from. But I've never seen a startup where this is not the case; if a startup isn't valuing product innovation over clean code in the very beginning they likely won't be around long enough for it to even matter.
