Process
Like many others have mentioned, my experience with the HR team was really unprofessional. I had my first interview scheduled, and the recruiter canceled it five minutes before, saying that something came up and conflicted with our call. They said they would need to reschedule and that they would resend an invite. That's fine, however, they never rescheduled, and it's been three weeks.

Pros: Opportunities for career and personal growth abound. There was early adoption of employee resource groups. A flat leadership structure means you have the ability to communicate up the chain easily. Management seems to care about employees as people in addition to what they contribute to the company.
Cons: Some growing pains associated with entering a phase of rapid growth in personnel.
Onboarding is rapidly evolving, which is good, but the rapidity is because it is still quite lacking.
It's hard to know what the company is going to look like as we emerge from this growth period.
