Pros: * Access to new tech/growth opportunities * Culture is often far superior to the big players * Make an impact, you can have an outsized impact simply because of company size * Nimbler/move faster due to less bureaucracy/overhead Cons: * Huge risk/feast or famine situation, working for a startup could mean retiring 15 years later or 15 years earlier * Stress levels/health risks * Complete chaos at times * Mediocre / nonexistent benefits * Sold as "do interesting things" but not always true. Startups have just as boring things that need to be done as any company. * Career growth is largely based on the growth of the company
