Pros

As other people have said, everyone you work with here is at the top of their game -- succeeding here is to succeed anywhere. You can build autonomously -- there is not a ton of bureaucracy, you have the ability to directly impact users and work on visible features. Very fast paced development -- a couple of weeks from idea to rollout is usual. The features you build here are used by a huge number of people.

Cons

You need to be very effective at managing your time; a day can seem to go by in an instant with such a busy schedule. There are so many things happening and things move so quickly it can be a challenge to maintain proficiency with the full stack.

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
