Business outlook
Pros
The work is exciting and worth doing. The people are very smart, and generally very nice. It's a really decent operation overall. They're onto something big and they know it.
Cons
The goals are massively agressive. The tension between doing things fast and doing things right can be a bit overboard. Hiring experienced people however is hard, and they need to hire a lot to fuel their growth. I don't think they have a choice but to hire less experienced people to grow their engineering and data science teams, and they're not well equipped to manage and coach less experienced people. Teams can be restructured fast, and work environment changes are chaotic, and the result isn't always great.
