Pros

An amazing environment! A company striving to make a real change in the world. Very bright people who work hard and believe in the art of the possible. An inspirational startup /scale-up environment. Really cool office and company brownie's on Friday's.

Cons

Not for the fainthearted and a little cult like - if that not your thing probably not a fit. Fast growing with the atypical issues that this causes.
