Pros

Great work culture. They literally move fast. Things get done very quickly. People are helpful, and some of the best people you'll meet.

Cons

The ambiguity in work sometimes gets to you. No career path, and proper mentoring that you can claim. Everything with regards to personal or career development is laden with jargon and hyperbole in discussions. Things like "you have to move to the next level" are what you'll hear, but not how to.
