Pros

Working remote; smart people and easy to work with for the most part; decent (but not outstanding) comp; interesting work on market design

Cons

High turnover, shifting strategic directions sometime makes your work hard but not too bad compared to other tech like FB

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
