Pros

Even with all fairness, it's really hard for me to come up with any upside of working here as a non-engineer.

Cons

Way too much politics for such a small, growing team. Salary for a pre-IPO in Silicon Valley is very disappointing. Management has a chip on their shoulder and anyone daring to sing a different tune better start packing their bags. Everyone too busy impressing everyone around them instead of doing their job. Insecure management always trying to watch their back - what does that say about the culture.
