Pros

The work can be challenging. The pay is good.

Cons

Very nepotistic culture. It used to be about building the technology, but now everything is so political. So many hidden decisions and conversations - the project you're currently working on is probably already canned, but you won't be informed until we're about to make the knowledge public. I've been spending ~80% of my time the past few months just writing documents. There are no opportunities for me to create anything anymore.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
