Pros

Like it was stated by others: some of the best co-workers one could hope for

Cons

Just go ahead and read every negative review that was posted here, it's really hard to top(bottom) them, but here goes: Bill Tan is a useless megalomaniac. The only three skills he has ever mastered are: 1. Milking the government (wake up NIH!) 2. Stringing together terms, buzzwords and random words, all framed in a pseudo-academic tone while being utter nonsense. 3. Sucking the energy and will power from all who around him. Bill Tan's sexist attitude toward women borderlines harassment at times. His capricious change of opinion - about any subject - feels like on some monthly cycle. Bill tan misappropriated government funds while maintaining a lavish lifestyle.

Pros

Intellectual and creative freedom, big dreams, ambitious execution, and a rewarding mission. Amazing teammates with outrageous talent. The research and engineering teams are especially strong. Leadership has a big vision.

Cons

Not everyone likes a high-intensity atmosphere. Low performers are fired, even moderately good performers are PIP'ed. Only high performers are rewarded. Make sure you are happy to meet a high bar.

Pros

Employees all work hard, are brilliant, really care about the work they are doing, and give it their all You get to work on products that matter and will actually help people You will learn a lot No two days are the same Good benefits (health, vision, dental, 401Kmatch, equity... ) Flexible schedule, work from anywhere in the US

Cons

It's really hard! There is the inherent startup risk. At least for now, the company relies on NIH funding, which makes things pretty uncertain. Live collaboration takes A LOT of time. Wish there was more PTO
