Pros

Very active culture You get to work with very smart people Things move very fast so you don't have time to get bored

Cons

Your progress will largely depend on your manager, their claim to love numbers more than anything applies only where it is convenient. Horrible life work balance - you are pretty much expected to do something extra just to keep up. Compensation is 'OK' don't expect to see any bonuses, at work place perks. They take frugality and turn it into penny pinching.
