Pros

Competitive pay. So much to learn. The company strongly values career growth. Promotions and hires are based on real results rather than nepotism or politics. I feel that those in higher positions have earned them.

As a general principle, the company is focused on scalable solutions rather than meeting immediate needs that will run into issues later. Everyone I have met has been pretty humble. The company does try to learn from its mistakes rather than repeat them. It does care about its customers and employees.

In general, it feels very real. In many places, those who talk a lot and speak up get better results, whereas here they try to cater to everyone, including the more soft-spoken individuals who still contribute just as much. Well funded.

Cons

Fast-paced isn't for everyone. Some of those who may have a harder time here if they just want to coast. It's typical for fast-paced companies to change frequently. So if you do not like change, it may not be for you.

Since it is growing so fast, there are still legacy systems that need to be replaced.

The company is very liberal. If you are a conservative, you will want to keep that to yourself. I am conservative (only in some ways) and have not had an issue, but feel if I expressed anything, I would get some really weird looks.

Not a con, but it is no longer a real startup. There are a lot of people at the company.

Advice to Management

Keep it up! We need to prepare for the IPO and keep the customers and employees happy.
