Pros

- Company is growing at an incredible rate - Much higher rate of personal career growth possible than at Google or Facebook - Business directly touches the physical world instead of making money through ads - High impact projects - Hybrid between a startup and large company - Monthly Uber credits and free rides home from work late at night

Cons

- Company currently caught in a negative press cycle that seems to feed itself - Offices not as nice as Google or Facebook (At least until the new HQ is built) - Work hours in the 50-60 hours week range instead of the 30-35 hours week range at Google / Facebook

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
