Pros
As a software engineer, there are a limitless number of different things to work on, and I'm working with a lot of other very excited and smart people..the best. Huge opportunity to learn and grow professionally as the company continues to hire more people. Equity compensation is very compelling, too good to say no. The executives are very transparent with regards to the company's performance. Free breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, plus tons of fresh fruit and snacks.
Cons
We are growing so fast, meaning code evolves just as fast. It feels a little overwhelming, but it's exciting to make a personal goal to grow to be able to keep up. While I've never been asked to stay more than 40hrs/week, there is a strong vibe to work long hours and I've had to reconsider how I spend my non-work hours to be more efficient (maybe that's a good thing?). Not enough uber swag, I have to pay for my hoodie???
