Pros

- Disqus genuinely cares about their people. Ever felt like you couldn't be yourself at work? Me too! That is definitely NOT the case at Disqus! - Great communication top to bottom. No barriers. Everyone from entry level to CEO is approachable and willing to collaborate. - The best working relationship between technical and non-technical teams I've seen at any company. - Good mix of enough process to keep things in order and enough freedom to get things done - Very intelligent group of people who are always willing to help. Feels more like a group of friends then a bunch of co-workers. - Awesome office space: Customize your work space, comfy couches, ping pong, foosball, board and video games, and delicious catered lunch + snacks every day!

Cons

- No company paid commuter benefits (pre-tax dollars, yes) - If you're an "in early, out early" type of person, it can be hard to collaborate with the team since most folks come in late and stay late.

Pros

Disqus is definitely the most enjoyable work environment I've ever had the pleasure of being in. My peers are intelligent and respectful. The exec team has a clear vision. Everyone is encouraged to advance their knowledge, interests, and careers. When I'm asked what the best thing about working at Disqus is, my answer is always the same. Disqus reaches millions of people every day, and normally for your work to be seen by such a wide audience, you would need to work at a giant company - one where your individual contributions are a very small piece of the whole pie. At Disqus, you get to reach that huge audience, and see your work on websites you visit every day, but at the same time you're not losing the feel of a startup, both socially and in terms of business agility. The benefits are great. Catered lunch every day, massage, yoga, bike passes, snacks, cold brew coffee on tap, group outings, company outings, unlimited vacation time, medical/dental/vision, bonus, 401k, conference comps....i could literally go on and on.

Cons

Lots of amicable departures in the last year have brought in new hires with fresh ideas, but also the need to make sure that legacy knowledge of Disqus' systems isn't lost.
