Pros

The energy and pace of growth makes it a really exciting place to work. Coworkers are generally interesting and fun people. Work environment is casual with a true open door policy, lots of manic panic in the hair of management, and other similar monikers of a laid back internet company culture.

Cons

Communication about initiatives is a bit lacking, things move so fast you need to take responsibility for your own development. Work/life balance can get out of hand and you have to learn to place limits on your own time. If you let yourself work 24 hours a day, there's plenty of work to do but you need to manage your own time.

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.
