Pros
-Opportunity for global impact, autonomy of teams and a cultural appetite for risk are empowering -Incredibly smart, ambitious colleagues challenge you to do your best work -Working somewhere that explicitly strives to be a data-driven, bureaucracy-free meritocracy is refreshing
Cons
-Know what you're getting into: this place is intense. If you believe in what we're doing and are intrinsically excited by your part in it, terrific - you'll enjoy it. If not, you'll likely burn out quickly. We work far too hard for our roles to be mere means to some other end. -Negative press coverage is deflating. Sure, we're full of type-A (sometimes A-hole) personalities, but there's a strong uniting desire here to improve the world and the lives of people in it. Its frustrating when this isn't the perception that friends / relatives / partners (whom you'll interact with frequently) share. We need to get better at sharing our story and our motivations.
