Pros

The average age of the company was very young - felt like ~25 - and senior leadership took the opinions of even very junior people seriously. If you are ambitious and able to play politics, you can rise in the ranks and win opportunities even if you have very little experience. It felt like I had more growth opportunities, especially lateral growth opportunities, than my peers at other tech companies.

Cons

Incredibly toxic work environment that may destroy your self-esteem if you don't have insane levels of self-confidence. Senior leadership team that is completely divorced from reality and not able to hire good leadership.

Pros

Lots of really smart and nice people at the company. The culture has improved a lot recently. There's a good amount of room to develop and jump on things that you might not be exposed to in other companies.

Cons

The company moves a little too fast at times and maybe overlooks things that are working well and don't necessarily need to be changed for "efficiency" at the risk of doing things incorrectly. It can be hard to move up in some departments. work/life balance varies a lot by team.
