Pros

- Fantastic product with unbelievable growth potential - Super smart people at every level - Decent free food and drinks available at all times; weekly free breakfast and lunch; regular special events

Cons

- Supposed core value of transparency, but good people disappear with no explanation - Frequent re-orgs cause confusion about roles and workload - A few managers truly don't "get" the value of their best workers. Some of the highest achievers I know are bummed out every day. Some are looking around for a place where they'll be appreciated (or have already left) - "Silo" mentality leads to lack of consistent messaging, duplication of efforts
