Pros

Internal development tooling is top-notch. You can go from a clean laptop to shipping a pull request in a few hours.

Your colleagues tend to care deeply about your customers. Most people are deeply engaged with the vision of what we're trying to solve.

There's a high emphasis on personal growth and bettering yourself every year.

Amazing work-life balance. Most of the time, the team clocks out at 5 PM their time, and overtime is rare. A global workforce makes having on-call only inside your own timezone easier.

Cons

Roadmaps shift rapidly. If your project isn't a huge hit, it's hard to get the engagement to run it for more than a year. There have been quite a few times where good ideas have to be experimented on by different teams for a few years before they finally get it right.

The promotion process can be stressful. If your manager doesn't get highly involved with the promotion, it can be difficult to get it through. There's an interesting split.
