Pros

The company is growing so quickly, there's a lot of opportunity to move around and grow along with it. You work with some of the most passionate open source advocates around and your work can directly impact the company's success.

Cons

Quickly growing is a two-edged sword. It's fun to be a part of, but processes tend to lag the growth rate, which leads to occasional frustration.
