Pros

It's incredibly satisfying working here with a million things to do every day, and all of them are impactful. I worked at big tech before and was pulling my hair out in boredom near the tail end of my stint.

People here are great to work with; there's a high talent density, and folks are always friendly.

The culture of the company is always improving. I saw some problems with code quality when I first joined, but saw marked improvements, and leadership listened when engineers shared this feedback.

Business fundamentals are solid. Series F investors are a great proxy.

Compensation increased 8x in a span of 4 years.

Cons

Do not join if you want work-life balance. This is a startup; you will work hard every day. You will have to work on anything and everything to make your team successful and do it well, all at the same time (long-term projects, 0-1 projects, customer support).

This is a performance-based culture, so some people will love this, and others will hate it. Don't join if you want to coast. This is probably where some of the alarming reviews here on Glassdoor are about (people were fired and pushed out because their performance was not there).
