      I worked at Match (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Best in class in terms of shipping really good software fast. You'll push code every week. You'll work your butt off and learn a ton or drown. They took a chance on a Jr Dev and grew me into something in under 1 year that would have taken 2-3 years anywhere else.

      Cons

      It's pretty fast sink or swim. Management has changed quite a bit since the pre-IPO days. So I can't comment on current leadership since 2015. I still think the Match name/brand is pretty good environment to work in tho, all things considered relative to the area (DFW).

      Pros

      Great friendly work culture. Nice office and good benefits.

      Cons

      Some of the brands are doing better than others. Intra-brand communication is being improved but still has a ways to go.

      I have been working at Match full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Pay and Benefits are good

      Cons

      No room for career growth or development. Too much corporate politics as well.

      Advice to Management

      Bring in new ideas and fresh management. Promoting within has its positive incentives for morale, but it also has its negatives if the wrong individual is promoted. Doing the same thing as always especially in a tech company can be a dangerous thing.

      Pros

      Best place I've ever worked.

      - Fun, casual, social culture. In addition to the fun events HR organizes, there are a lot of employees here who are just genuinely caring and friendly. I find that I look forward to going to work every day for the people.

      - Exciting, challenging work. If you are a developer and want to work on the most cutting-edge in-demand tech stack, this is one of the best places to be. They also try to keep an active presence among Dallas's tech community through meet-ups and such.

      - Lots of opportunities for developers who are new to the industry. In my time here I have seen a lot more junior developers get hired onto several teams and they are all doing great, even if its one of their first jobs. A lot of effort is put into making it a welcoming learning environment to really help everyone grow as developers, whether you've been there for 10 years or 10 days.

      - Fantastic managers who really take the time to get to know their employees and adapt to the needs of the team.

      - Constantly improving in every way! Every day here, it just gets better and better.
      They have been putting a lot of effort into getting employee feedback, which makes me believe the trend will continue!

      Cons

      - Priorities change fast, so you just have to be ready for whatever you're working on now to be de-prioritized tomorrow in favor of something else. Just be ready to shift gears.

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up!

      "Data Driven, but Lacking in a cohesive high level strategy"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee
      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee

      I worked at Match full-time

      Pros

      Very data driven, with a lot of talented people who are mostly collaborative and congenial

      Cons

      Lack of a cohesive overarching strategy that unifies all of the brands and initiatives, and prevents these from competing against each other.

      Advice to Management

      Take a step back to really determine each brand's purpose and mission and how that should be cascaded through all efforts to reduce cannibalization and competing goals.
      Avoid short term decisions to appease wall street and focus on long term growth
