Pros

Sooner more than less decent pay, smart team members, and some stock options.

Cons

They force you to participate in team members' reviews in terms of 'What are your and your team member's superpowers". Superpowers? Really? Am I 14 years old to believe in superpowers? 24x7 on-calls once in several weeks - will wake you up in the middle of the night.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
