      Pros

      Definitely pushes me to be better at my job and progress to the next level of my career. Sink or swim kinda thing. Well compensated. My group is both supportive in this fast paced, challenging environment and allows for work/life balance and encourages taking time off. I hear that may not be true company wide (con), but if you can find a manager like that, this place is a win.

      Cons

      No 401k (yet, but company stock more than makes up for it... if you get it). Culture doesn't really provide an opportunity to slow down and reflect or methodically work through a problem. It's all go go go go go. I am luck with the group I'm in supporting a "slower" more thought-out, methodical process. It really adds ballast to what would otherwise be an imbalanced culture. That's going to be group specific though. Your manager will allow the space for work/life balance... or not.

      Great place to learn and work with people who understand how to grow an organization. Excellent technical leadership and delivery - every team you meet with can teach you so much. The company’s product helps so many people - doing great work for a company that does great things in society is rewarding

      Cons

      Sometimes it can be very busy - growth does come with challenges
