Pros

* Smart coworkers who leave their ego at the door and truly work as a team. * High quality products that power critical businesses and use-cases.

Cons

* Indecisive and poor leadership leads to knee-jerk micromanagement to compensate for poor strategic planning. * Worse than average equity refreshes, career opportunities, and benefits means no reason to stay past initial few years or put in extra initiative.
