Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, equity in a high-growth company. Lot's of perks if you are at HQ. Really smart, talented people. Nice offices. Good food at HQ. Things are getting better in general as the company grows up.

Cons

Career growth can be difficult if you are not an engineer/designer/product person. Pay is heavily favored towards product and engineers. Rigid road map makes it hard to introduce projects and get resources, no matter the benefit.
