Pros

Excellent place to learn about distributed systems, customer obsession and being a lean startup. Lots of game changing responsibility.

Hostile culture bcos of the excessive pressure and impetus to get ahead at all costs. Your manager will influence your productive growth in the company. Choose a manager with established tenure.

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.
