Pros

The platform is great and it delivers on the promised value. You have the chance to work on an amazing product and meet some great people

Cons

You can also meet not-so-great people. The HR don't really care about careers or persons, except if you are one of the selected few that are "friends" with someone in the department. Progression is not clear and is not real, people are promoted or demoted based on their lobbying and friendships and not on what they produce or really do. Too many clients abroad which can force you to travel a lot, travels are also made on weekends mostly, not being able to compensate those days normally.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
