Pros

* Tremendous scope of responsibility- you can have as much impact as you're capable of generating * Colleagues are very humble and smart and well-intentioned * The opportunity we're pursuing is enormous and we are already the market leader with hundreds of millions still in our war chest and vast scope for expansion. We're solving a problem that affects nearly every human

Cons

* Teams have wide scope and hiring is behind schedule * Stock options in a pre-IPO company are probably money later, not definitely money now * Some lack of clarity on what management team will look like in 6-12 months
