      Pros

      - learn an immense amount - excellent avenue for rapid career advancement - opportunities for growth when you want them

      Cons

      - absolutely destroyed my mental health - pressure persists even when offline and not working, it seeps into life - never enough space to recharge/recover, slow decline into burnout feels almost inevitable - stock based compensation too volatile

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
