Pros
incredibly exciting start-up environment with lots of autonomy for individuals to to have an impact, get recognition and to create your own destiny. opportunity to make a lot of money with commissions and of course stock options. data engineering and big data is the hottest space in tech right now and will be for some time to come. amazing customers with interesting use cases. revolutionary product that is 2+ years ahead of competition. everyone in the company is working towards the same goal.
Cons
if you like the comfort of big company process and a slower paced work environment this is not for you. you would need to be interested in data and analytics even if you don't have that background necessarily. you often need to wear more than one hat in order to get things done.
