Pros

- Hardworking, dynamic colleagues - Vibrant & Inspirational leaders who work hard to see you succeed - Transparency - Internal promotion, so many opportunities for growth - Fast growing Tech company - all the benefits of working a corporate job, with the environment of a start-up

Cons

- Work life balance doesn't really exist, it's not a con for me but if you are the type that expects to work 9-5.30 with an hour lunch break, and put in very few additional hours - this isn't the job for you.
