Pros

colleagues are super smart and a pleasure to be around day-in/out, office experience is top-notch (facilities & meals), work schedule is highly flexible, medium-to-long-term upside for the company is enormous - if we execute SQ will be $50B by 2020

Cons

doesn't pay in the elite range like FB/Google/etc, JD dual CEO role is not ideal, sense of urgency lacking at times
