Pros

This is a place where you'll love coming in to work every morning. The culture is terrific. You get the sense that everyone cares about the products and while we all work hard we also play hard. Company funded happy hours and ice cream parties are the norm. The kitchen is fully stocked with snacks and drinks, lunch is catered every Friday, you can work from home once a week, and the work day starts at 10 am. The leadership team makes a concerted effort to listen and act on the concerns brought up by the team (concerns are raised anonymously through regular surveys). We use the latest technologies and you will learn a ton.

Cons

The salary is competitive, but it's not amazing. This is somewhat mitigated by the amount of equity you get during the negotiation process. Benefits are just ok. There's no 401(K) matching and to make matters worse it's a Roth 401(K). There's some talk of these improving, but so far nothing concrete. Space is limited, but it's not uncomfortable yet.

Pros

Great team, Work from home days, lenient hours, pets allowed, fully stocked kitchen, Unlimited Vacation, Opportunity to try new things and bring new ideas to the table

Cons

No specific work hours so it's a little grey on when the day starts and when it ends

Pros

The concept and the technology are interesting and cutting edge. Incredible talent density and some of the nicest people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Since January the QA manager has left, two of the most senior web engineers have left, the project manager left, the last remaining co-founder has left and is contacting everyone trying to sell his shares, the COO resigned yesterday for "family reasons" and the company delayed everyones paycheck last week due to "best practices" which makes absolutely no sense. Several people did not know about the "best practice" payroll change announcement until their paycheck didn't show up on time because it was never communicated in writing ahead of time. We did get paid today thank God. To date nobody has been hired to replace any of the people that have left which has caused even more concerns about the company finances. I would sum it up as the wild west where the managers are in over their head and don't know how to run a business. There is no structure or consistency in what is expected day to day. It's a shame because there is so much opportunity and the people are so nice and get along so well. The atmosphere in the office is pretty defeated, feels like a sinking ship.
