Pros
I've been at Imgur for three years now and I have to say it's the best company I've every worked for. Start-ups get a bad rap for being known as places with crapy work/life balance. Imgur is a place that truly respects work/life balance and at the same time keeps a high bar for output and performance. I've had the opportunity to do some of my best work here and I truly feel like I'm part of a family. I know there is a huge focus on continuing to grow the Imgur product, make the company even more diverse and building a company for the future. All of those things excite me and I'm proud to work here. The benefits are some of the best in the business and the pay is competitive as well.
Cons
Imgur has had amazing organic scale and growth. I believe the company is at a very interesting crossroads for the future and I see the product team pushing the limits on the expectations for the future of our product. I think the future is unknown from a product perspective and that makes some people uneasy. However, the team is committed to Imgur being different and truly being a place that lifts the worlds spirits for a few moments everyday. It's going to be an interesting ride and I'm proud to be part of it.
Advice to Management
Keep communicating the vision for Imgur and where we are headed. Let's truly be the best social site out there and stand for something different. Also, please keep a strong focus on diversity as we grow.

Pros
Great office space, dog friendly is a huge plus. Awesome people who seem like the genuinely want to be there. Mixed feelings on the product.
Cons
I honestly felt like there was a huge disconnect between the executive team and the rest of the company. They appear to be transparent (in that they mention being transparent often), but I don't feel they were. Didn't feel like all the executives valued my role or position there. Also felt the role of CEO was played more so by the COO.

Pros
I am only in my second week, but so far Imgur is an amazing company to work for. The interview process did not feel like an interview, it was so much fun and everyone made me feel incredibly valued and included from the start. I really enjoyed the onboarding process as well. I was set-up with meetings with every department and 1:1s with everyone I'd be working with. All of the people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I already feel very prepared and excited about working at Imgur.
Cons
I have no cons to share yet.

Pros
- Super transparent about the company's goals, roadmap, and executive decisions
- Generous PTO and remote work days
- You get to browse Imgur all day!
- People are extremely passionate and it's inspiring to come into an office where everyone is excited to be there. The group is very welcoming.
- The office space is incredible - big, open, with lots of flexible work spaces. And it's decorated with cool user artwork!Cons
Nothing major, it's really the best company around. If you're extremely sensitive, you probably won't like the user content that you may be exposed to as part of you job.
Advice to Management
We could use more communication when features are shipped.

Pros
+ CULTURE: we have a bunch of values written on the walls etc., but none of that means anything if people don't adhere to them. At Imgur, the values actually do define how we behave and treat one another. At its core is respect and compassion.
+ IMPACT: We reach tens of million of people every day. Its pretty cool for such a small team to have an impact on so many people.
+ LEARNING: Every single day I'm learning from people who are smarter than I am. There's an incredibly talented group of people here, who challenge and push one another to perform at their best.Cons
- Some times people leave the fridge open overnight and all the food needs be thrown out in the AM.
Advice to Management
Keep on keeping on! Since I've been here I've seen you grow as a team. Its incredible to watch and be a part of it.
