Pros: - Fun, engaging workplace.

- Values ideas and their implementation over employee seniority.
- Bottom-up decision making, allowing employees to determine how they can make the most impact.
Cons: - Competitive environment.
- Sharp drop-off in compensation for new employees.
- The focus on moving fast often means that the company spends a lot of time going backwards or iterating. This can be frustrating or exhilarating, depending on whether you see the iterations as unprincipled or a necessary component of shaping a product that a billion people find useful.
