Advice to Management

Keep re-evaluating processes and benefits, snacks, employee review process etc....I really like how things keep changing for the better and we are all well informed of the changes and why.

Advice to Management

We could use more communication when features are shipped.

Pros

Working at Imgur is great. Everyone here is passionate about what they do, and you can tell people enjoy coming to work. I feel there is open communication across the company, and people are aware of what every team is working on.

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.

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.

Pros

- Awesome office space (and dog friendly!)
- Down to earth and friendly people in every department
- Honest communication about company's fundamentals from leadership
- Positive place to grow and pursue passions in your career
- Working on a product that reaches millions and the ability to see users' reactions directly on Imgur!
- Excellent benefits and perks!

Advice to Management

Ensure that every team is on the same page when developing features. While a lot of trust is given to each team to complete their requirements at their own pace, there still needs to be coordination to ensure everyone is on the same page during every phase of development.

Pros

Culture and core values are no joke, Imgur practices what it preaches. Incredibly smart, talented, passionate people across the board. Great location, great perks, great work/life balance. The CEO is incredibly humble and wise. People are given lots of trust and autonomy. Reason and logic prevail here.

Advice to Management

Keep it up!

Pros

I've had the opportunity to see Imgur grow as a company for the past few years. It's not the same as when I started... and I'm still here. Working at scale with a small team makes the job all the more exciting. We work hard to make this an amazing place to be. There are dogs in the office to help you during moments of stress, we have catered lunches, great benefits, a sweet office space, etc. etc. and of course, amazing people.

I wouldn't be at Imgur if it wasn't for the amount of great talent we've hired. They're not only some of smartest, most passionate, people I've known, but also a pleasure to be around. I say Imgur is like no other place because I feel it's hard to come across a company where people want to give their best, are passionate about their work, and are excited to come in the next day. I'm thrilled to see how Imgur will evolve, what challenges we will face, and the engineering problems we'll be tackling.

Advice to Management

Continue listening to your employees

Pros

I really couldn't be happier at Imgur. The salary and benefits are awesome, but that's just the icing on the banana-flavored cake. Most everyone is super humble, low ego, wicked smart, and just want to ship something cool. The product has a very involved community, and engineering sprints have clearly defined objectives. This really helps to get things shipped and I've never felt like I was working on something that didn't matter.

As for the benefits, taking PTO has never been a problem, the salary is great, insurance is best I've seen (and I've worked in academia), they're dog friendly, and every year you have a passion fund that you can spend on whatever interests you.

Oh, and catered lunches that are pretty awesome.

Advice to Management

I dunno, maybe we could have some pepsi every once in a while? At least some root beer.
