Pros

The vision

No desk jobs here

Powerful company with determined employees

Pays below avg for full time employees and extract as many hours as they can

Cons

Long hours can be challenging if you don’t have a good manager or understanding partner. Stocks are good. Vacation starts with 3 weeks a year. On-site food is not bad. Sabbatical at 5 years.
