Pros

1. Competitive Salary 2. Opportunity for On site collaboration with Team in SF. 3. Working on the best of tech.

Cons

1. Clear favouritism and differentiation in the usefulness of the ideas, depending upon who gives it, instead of the impact it has. 2. Poor Planning, many of things are re-written / churned, just because the initial draft was for demo / MVP. 3. Chant the buzzwords "transparency", "open to ideas", "take time off" so much that it almost sounds true to everyone. 4. Trying to cover the problem, and keep the facade intact, instead of solving the root problem. (You'll see 10 positive reviews, after every negative one. Ever wonder why ?) 5. Too many layers, too many stakeholders. 6. Justifying every damn thing in the name of startup. No, working long hours, weekends, just because we are trying to ship features, is not worth boasting. that's what leads to crap code and employee churn.
