Definitely agree the coworkers and the pace of work is a major pro to work here. As we scale up I think a lot of the cons you call out will improve, specifically infrastructure and the long hours. I do want to encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager about your needs from a work/life balance perspective, as it's important to have the time off to recharge when you need it. Thanks for the review!

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
