      Pros

      * Lots of freedom * Lots of ability to influence the business * Only bounds on what you do are you * Nobody says "no"; the ethos is "just do it" * Exposure to lots of interesting problems * Builder culture * Good practice for creating your own company

      Cons

      * Flat structure means that there's not a ton of specialization * Not a lot of structure on many teams; need to deal with and thrive on ambiguity

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
