Pros

- culture and people are amazing - solid perks and benefits - authentic, casual, I've never been more myself at work - not public so still fun - lots and lots of opportunity

Cons

- very high expectations - intense amount of pivoting - shifting priorities and goal posts all the time - too much expectation for people to do more than what they are fairly paid - no transparency over pay, very secretive and hush hush about money culture
