Pros

Open culture, lots of opportunity for smart, talented and driven individuals. High performance environment. Your career I what you make of it. Not a lot of structure and that's deliberate, they hire smart people who should be able to figure things out. And they do. The others?? You can see their posts here.

Cons

Don't work here if you aren't willing to work hard. The company is driving to a mission and you will be overlooked if you arent working toward it. Long hours. Growing pains of a growing firm but progress is made every day.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
