Pros

- Culture - smart, humble, hardworking, collaborative - Amazing product & fantastic customers - A balanced approach to business with a focus on business goals and opportunity to celebrate the wins

Cons

- Constant changes makes it hard to feel your impact - Only 5 years old so we have less process than most other companies our size (this can be a good thing but it's especially hard for new people to ramp)
