Pros

Mission-driven company with passionate, skilled employees. Salary & equity are attractive; flexible PTO. Remarkable transparency for a public company gives greater context and regular all-hands meetings provide a forum for questions & feedback. Great corporate culture.

Cons

Fast growth could lead to problems later in terms of culture, focus shift. Devops model means engineers are stuck with pager duty; inconvenience varies by team. No support yet for 401k matching. Diversity could be better.
