Pros

Smart, driven coworkers Minimal corporate b.s. Solve real scaling problems. Good pay.

Cons

Everything is always on fire. There is absolutely no quality control. There is no real management. You will not have time to write actual software. There are a large number of checked out, incompetent or otherwise harmful senior devs camping on stock bonuses. If you want it done right, you will have to do it yourself to the tune of 80+ hours a week.

Pros

If you like to be contained by a big company, but at the same time being in the front line of fire, making bold decisions, connected to the business and needing to understand everything... this is your place.

Cons

Also, this is a double edge sword, demands of results and quality are high, so you need to give the best of yourself
