Pros

Very sharp engineers, driven to succeed.

Lots of engineers from other top tech companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc. This gives us the ability to replicate what makes sense, and leave behind what doesn't. It's a fresh start.

The overall mission of the company makes total sense.

Being a part of an epic disruption story is exciting.

Revenues are astronomic, in uncharted territory for a start-up / private company. This makes 2015 an extremely good time to join.

I work as hard as any other Silicon Valley engineer. We work hard, but not too hard, and there is work/life balance.

Cons
  • If you don't live in SF, your commute will suck.
Advice to Management
  • Go IPO while the market is hot; ride the wave. We are in it for the long term either way.
