Pros

Complete lack of politics or BS as everyone is just focused on what's best for the business and our users. Really smart people who care about surrounding themselves with other brilliant, enjoyable, passionate people. Management/Founders are incredibly smart and give great insights without micromanaging. Don't need to float buzz words or do things to make people happy if it doesn't make sense. Finally, the products we work on reach millions of people and we have the potential to do massive things and a leadership team that's not afraid to take risks to do just that.

Cons

As a young and growing company there are road bumps as we try to implement an effective process into our day to day behavior. Also, at this point while our business and coding is spectacularly effective it's not an end-product that you can brag about to your friends - but the whole team is working hard to change that.

Pros

- The culture here places a large emphasis on learning and collaboration. You are empowered to become an expert in field and that company supports you in that effort by offering a $2,000 training stipend to take courses that will help you learn, contribute, and grow. - The people that work here are incredibly smart and friendly. It has been a pleasure to get to know them. Everyone here has interesting opinions and the platforms to voice those opinions which is unlike anything I've seen at other companies. Imagine tossing around ideas with the CEO on a weekly basis. It happens here and that is pretty cool. - The company is lean and agile, which makes it easy to pivot. And that happens a lot here. We make dozens of product changes every day based on the immense amount of data we have available. Data drives all decisions made which provides a simple, focused approach for all employees. - There are tons of other perks such as weekly massages, ping pong, video games, happy hours, discounted gym membership, and innovation hours.

Cons

The work-life balance leaves something to be desired. The company is filled with very passionate and dedicated people -- many work late and many work on weekends. Management has always made it clear that you can be as involved as you want, although I do believe that people less committed to going that extra mile will see that reflected in the opportunities available for them here.
