Pros
Working in the dating industry is fun - and being able to create happy couples is the ultimate reward for the work that we do.
The company has been around since the turn of the century (2000) so is quite old in internet years, but is constantly developing new products in order to compete.
eharmony is located at a great location right next to UCLA with plenty of gyms, restaurants, shopping etc nearby.
Company culture is pretty relaxed as long as you get your work done. There have been layoffs over the past year but was a long overdue necessity - you can't stay fat when competitors are nipping at your heels.
Benefits include unlimited vacation (as long as you can find the time...), free breakfast and lunch multiple times per week, and an office with lots of space.Cons
Over the years eharmony has grown to become one of the major dating companies in the US, but has lately (like most other dating sites) been impacted by the rise of the mobile dating apps, which has again lead to some cost cutting and subsequent layoffs.
The management layer has been rather slim over the past year with multiple open positions (that are in the process of being filled) and a sense of being in fire-fighting mode.Advice to Management
Company is moving in the right direction and is definitely much better off today than a year ago. Stay focused!

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at eharmony full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
The mission of the company.
Cons
I don't even know where to begin. We can talk about metrics and spin them any way we want but the ultimate metric, which is cash, has been dropping fast over the last 2 years. While the leader is a good talker and probably has good intentions, the lack of experience as a CEO is too apparent. The company is in a death spiral; People are leaving, the company can't take any risks with new incentives or reinvent the product since there is no cash. Its too late to replace the CEO, by the time a new CEO is found the company will be out of money.
Advice to Management
Its the product, its always been the product. We can't continue to sit there adding bells and whistles to an outdated product. We didn't evolve fast enough and will now become another case study unfortunately.

Pros
The people are smart, nice, and easy to work with! (most of them)
Upper management has greatly improved and is leading the company in the right direction.
Clean office space, free snacks, free drinks, catered food, benefits
Occasional company outingsCons
Some people here have been here for so long that they resist change (and bring along a poor attitude), which can impact our pace and culture.
Work-life balance at timesAdvice to Management
Hire more talented people and get rid of the people who are not contributing and have a bad attitude at work.
