Pros: Everything from interviews to working my first months here was super smooth. The interviewers were very friendly and helpful, and didn't really mind if I messed up some minor things as long as I was thinking on the right path and logic. On the inside, it's a big team of very talented, skilled, and organized people, so it's a treat to be able to spend time with them and feel like I have the opportunity to learn a lot.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of anything major at the moment to consider a con.

Cons: You have to work at least 12 hours a day.
Bonuses are in shares that are not listed on a stock market, thus they are pretty useless. You might not be able to sell them, in which case they will expire in 10 years.
