Pros

There is a lot of opportunity to work on initiatives that can have a large impact, measured by customers reached, employees helped, businesses enabled, money moved, physical goods handled and much much more.

Cons

The company is aligned around exploring, entering and scaling new businesses efficiently. Predictable outcomes for employees are not always aligned with this and as a result being in the wrong role or business at the wrong time can be painful.

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.
