Pros

-great culture, you won't find nicer people -flexible working hours/wfh policy -cool office environment: free food, musical instruments etc -easy to voice opinion (whether people regard it is another matter) -you will learn a lot about scaling

Cons

-said great culture also happens to be a con depending on your personality; lack of Type A individuals, especially at leadership level meaning although it is a startup it is lacking in pace. The product has fundamentally not changed enough over time -execution has been very poor despite great ideas amongst very smart colleagues -VC pressure has meant some fairly erratic business decisions - As for the founders, they are entrepreneurs, not ex-management so do not have a history of managing growing teams. As alluded to in a previous review, their skillset is probably no longer relevant at a company size of almost 100
