Pros

• Company vision. • Benefits package. • Flexible hours. • Work on some neat projects. • Frequent collaboration with some very talented and smart people. • Free cereal, milk, OJ, soda, popcorn, fruit, etc.

Cons

• 12+ hour days. (most Saturdays too) • Work/life balance. • Parking in Fremont and Palo Alto • Difficult to get promoted unless you're an all-star employee. • Time management. Way too often I hear: ASAP!, Needed this yesterday!, Hot priority!, Hurry, it's for Elon!

Pros

Rapid advancement possible if you exceed targets/goals. Generally everyone at the company is truly excited by the mission and doesn't mind working until the job is done.

Cons

Quality of life/work balance on the sales side is tough, but manageable. If you don't expect this working in sales in a startup culture go look for another job!
