Pros

The product is great, and it's nice that the company is doing so well. Fun and interesting coworkers.

Cons

Lots of pressure, long hours (face-time is emphasized), little mentoring, conflict between management and team members, and a very hierarchical structure.

Significant growing pains with the hyper-growth.

There seem to be lots of burnout, and many people feel trapped into just staying for their stock options.
