Pros

Some genuinely amazing people Self-starter can thrive here Top notch office space Opportunities to learn cool tech

Cons

Some favoritism creeping in, there's a clear "in-group" forming around the Synthesis podcast/media crowd. Despite claims of external verification, salary packages does not keep up with market or cost of living increases at intermediate and senior bands. No overtime paid despite many people burning out, logging 220 and even beyond 300 hours in a month. No benefits e.g. medical, retirement etc. makes low salary hard to justify.
