Pros

Work on the future of one of the biggest platforms for interactive content. Company is (was?) growing fast. Good compensation and benefits. Good work life balance.

Cons

While I was there the company was booming in revenue, and they were growing fast and hiring fast. But they seemed more focused on new sources of revenue and marketing than on improving the state of the art of their core product (which in hindsight is in line with their choice of CEO), and this seemed to reflect on the quality and intentions of the hires. In my department I was surrounded by people that were more interested in playing games of politics for their own individual benefit than actually create value, their vector to the top was more important than allowing value in, even if it meant firing people that could have brought tremendous value. It's no surprise to me that their tools are years behind their main competitor.

Pros

-Flexible WFH environment -Decent work life balance and good benefits for the US based employees

Cons

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
