Pros

- consistently challenging, interesting problems to work on - huge upside potential for the world if the company succeeds. the mission really matters - really solid leadership team, with tons of transparency and limited politics

Cons

- way way more work than people, leading to some pretty tough prioritization calls. Not a place to work if you really need code to be beautiful and products to be gold plated. - As with all startups, the outcomes aren't guaranteed. Whether or not the technology and company actually work remains to be seen. - distributed workforce leads to some tough scheduling problems, especially across time zones - compensation is just average, although the equity upside is quite high.

Pros

Fast moving with new features that come and go. There are some really smart people

Cons

Focuses more on the network. I.e. government contacts, enterprise lock-in’s etc. technology is rudimentary. The company buys data from data aggregators and resells most of it with very intelligence layers on top of them. Easily reproducible features.
