I love the transparency of the company from the lowest levels to the highest. It makes for an easier time for collaboration and for wanting to get things done. It is a challenging environment with little room for downtime (I've always found challenges to be a good thing) leading to consistent individual growth. The people are amazing and there is a common theme among everyone: being the BEST!
Cons
Still a young company needing improvement in processes, which makes some challenges more challenging than necessary. But management is aware and are consistently making improvements.

Total compensation is top of the market.
Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.
Cons
Chaotic management.
Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless.
Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
