Pros

- truly some brilliant, fun to work with people - a fantastic look at how a quickly growing company leveraged a dead simple (sometimes painfully so) infra to build a huge business - people outside of the product org are so nice and friendly, it makes the job seem almost fun - some excellent managers around, lots of people you would hope to work with again

Cons

Cons - the larger more interesting opportunities require a very strange and unpredictable amount of pleasing the right people and not rocking the boat - do not disagree even cordially with people have been there long enough, you will be punished - routinely underpay juniors, feel bad for em - too many “technical” managers avoiding what they actually need to be doing...managing!
