Pros

The majority of the people who work(ed) there are excellent colleagues: smart, helpful, hard-working, motivated The product and service are exciting and present lots of interesting technical challenges

Cons

The CEO is incredibly overbearing and doesn't let employees do their jobs. He uses manipulation and childish games to control situations to his advantage. He has arbitrarily specific standards that halt progress on the product front. He fired five employees for absolutely no reason, and four others quit on their own accord. The team has been left in shambles.

Pros

We're changing healthcare in a way that will save a lot of lives. There's lots of other great things - world class scientists, serial entrepreneur founder, really great teams, great focus as a company, and a well-defined roadmap. But for me the biggest pro is the vision and a belief that we can do it. Since joining I've watched the company gain more focus, and the vision crystallize with time. The roadmap is fleshed out, and we're looking to continue growing to accomplish our vision

Cons

Always risky to try to change the world. But the free market often rewards risk.
