Pros

A startup with a strong business side (business model, financials, partnerships, etc.)

Cons

This company could become big and if you get in now you could say that you were there early on. But from the moment I joined I had goals put on me that I personally thought were extremely hard to achieve and I have been a developer for over 10 years. Also, all sense of a life outside of them disappeared from the first day. In the spirit of fairness I want to say that I was there very briefly and I didn't get a sense of how true this sentiment was for others in the company. But I also want to say that my previous managers think highly of me. In fact one of them is starting a company and has invited me to be one of the first engineers. The above may sound harsh, but I believe in empowering people with knowledge. In fact this review may *help* Miles filter out candidates that aren't right for them. If your dream is to be in on the ground floor of a company that could be a household name, and you are willing to sacrifice everything outside of your professional life to make that happen, Miles might be for you. But be realistic of how much work/life balance is import to you. I was surprised with my own assessmwent.
