Pros

If you are in the right department, this company can be very lucrative for you in both comp and opportunity.

Cons

If you are not in the right department, this company can be very challenging to navigate. The founders only want to pay certain groups while overlooking the middle-back office operations. The culture can be very toxic and feel like a big bank in terms of politics. This company is not a meritocracy. If you are comfortable and thrive in a politically charged environment, then this is the place for you. If you don't, it is likely you will be unhappy.
