Pros

I'm just not used to waking up in the morning feeling so consistently excited about going to work. Being surrounded by razor-sharp, hard-working people who are deeply invested (both emotionally and in terms of shares) in what they're working on is intoxicating.

Management is light touch, empowering people to make decisions, and it works. Releasing features and seeing how our >1.4m users and the press react is very motivating.

The company makes a real effort to look after its staff (and its customers) — there's a real focus on improving mental health all round. Really intelligent approach to remote work that works really well (eg all meeting rooms having video conferencing and a dial in by default).

Plus the option of a month's unpaid leave each year, cute dogs, fancy coffee machine, yoga in the office on Thursdays are available.

Cons

It takes over your brain.

Keeping boundaries is hard.
