I like the culture of the company a lot, it is a bit like an academic group (not surprsising since it started as one) but with much better pay and way less politiking. Interesting projects and very capable knoweledgeable coworkers and superiors, very open to new ideas and technologies. Frequent guests from universities and research labs. Flexible work arrangements, flexible hours.
Cons
We are a startup and with it come the usual startup cons, e.g. an occassional crunch time where something *HAS* to be done today, longer work week - 45-50 hours seems about average. As far as company specific cons - I really can't think of any.
Working with great people. The projects are from all different industries, great variety. Working with the cutting edge of machine learning technology. Lots of opportunities for learning, for leadership, and for excellence. Work-life balance is good for a startup, people aren't expected to work themselves to death. Compensation is good, it's a well-funded startup and people are paid a good salary and and not just promises of future greatness. The vision is, nevertheless, very ambitious.
Cons
It's a startup - things move very fast, you'll be expected to jump right in. Expect to wear many hats - which I am mentioning here as both a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what the hats are and what your career goals are. Scope of software is rapidly expanding, and clients often want things now now now.
