Meetup Overview

Getting S#&! Done That Makes a Difference

That's what it's all about at Meetup. Our Team works on a product that makes a difference to our members in helping them build local community. We work in teams known as WTF's. So wtf is a WTF? It is a cross-functional Working Task Force that is responsible for generating many rapid experiments that produce results and learning for a key part of the user experience. We love fun acronyms at Meetup. Like, WTF is up with email? WTF is up with finding the right Meetup? And so on. We use our collective brainpower and creativity to figure it out.

Ascribing to an agile development approach, usability testing is done in our offices nearly every day and WTF's are launching continuously.

No process is perfect, so as things evolve, we figure out new ways to get $#*! done so that we can each do what we do best -- make a difference and have fun.

Not everyone is on a WTF, but we still expect everyone to contribute and champion their ideas that bring us closer to our mission of a Meetup Everywhere About Most Everything.

Meetup HQ is a place that values its Team Members and understands that benefits and financial security are important factors when considering which company to call their home. We offer benefits that allow you to make the choices that are best for you. These include:

In addition to the traditional benefits above, people join Meetup and stay to have long-term, fulfilling experiences because of some other kinds of benefits as well. Some are tangible; some are intangible. Meetup is a very special place to work and here is just some of what life at Meetup HQ has to offer:

We are Driven by our Mission

Meetup has a strong mission that motivates our Team Members to make a real impact — on the company and on communities everywhere.

We Celebrate Success

Reach a goal, add a Perk. So far? Free soda fridge, fresh fruit always available, Breakfast Tuesdays, monthly gift cards to Whole Foods and 2 Summer Fridays. More to come!

We also have a peer-nominated award program to celebrate each others' successes. The ceremony is one you have to experience to believe.

We are Growing!

More members, more Organizers, more Meetup Groups, more revenue, more Meetup HQ Team Members!

We Connect with our Members

Spending time with our members and hearing their stories reinforces that our work makes a real difference.

We Have Internal Meetup Groups

Because we enjoy spending time together and learning from each other, we have Meetup Groups intended just for Meetup HQ Team Members. Some are social and some are educational & all are fun.

We Have Guest Speakers

We invite the greatest minds in the online world to come talk to the team. Awesome 2009 guests include Jack Dorsey (Twitter), David Karp (Tumblr), Tony Hsieh (Zappos), and Eli Pariser (moveon.org).
