Pros

Equity compensation is generous. 401k match is decent.

Cons

You are nothing more than a cog in a machine. Even if you meet or exceed their demanding performance metrics, you will live in fear of losing your job constantly. The belief is that you can be replaced easily. However, they refuse to backfill for employees who have left, leaving teams as skeletons. Be prepared to do the work of 2-3 people and be unappreciated for it except by your direct manager (who often has their hands tied and is unable to do anything for you anyway). Good luck making career advancements, it's a bureaucratic nightmare process to even attempt it, though I was successful once.
