Pros

Good startup, good learning curve, free food and macbook to work on. very intelligent people.

Cons

There is only one rule in company which is "if something is good for company, it is the right thing to do". And what is 'good' for company is decided by them (founders/heads). People are nowhere is picture. Almost everybody from first 15 employees have left the company (except founders and tech head), even those who were with them when they found it in their flat (in just two years). They might hire you for something, but you will be given some other job. Being in startup, you expect yourself to work on a lot of things, for exposure, but you won't have it or have it minimal because they don't want you to do as they have some other plans. Now, if you have enough strength after working 70-75 hrs and then do some side activity and come up with results, then you might get it, otherwise forget it. You might be interested in machine learning part but you'd actually be working on SEO things or setting the color right on website. Also, if you're working on something and are responsible for it and meanwhile they found some other person (consultant or contract), they might assign that person to work on it, even without you knowing it. One day you have a server issue and bamm, you have no idea about this feature. This is the most irritating thing about them, they want to know everything but they don't want to show transparency. They talk, they agree, but it never happens. And trust me, finalize financial things beforehand, otherwise you'd regret it later. Now don't get me wrong, they are nice people when you talk to them, and company doesn't have poisonous culture or something... it is just, they are cold and actions speak more than words.
