Pros

Such a great group of people. The management really care about there staff and go out of their way to keep people happy. As the companies matured everything is running much more smoothly by the day and the days of late nights are over (unless you want free pizza then feel free to stay late). They are very flexible with how people like to work and the upper management are extremely accessible and speak to all there staff like human beings and take everyones ideas on board. A few tough decisions had to be made this year but the company has definitely come out the other side much stronger.

Cons

I am a contractor and I might have to leave soon.

Pros

The work schedule was well managed. There were no emergencies, no sudden fires to put out, no radical changes of direction where partially completed work was abandoned. This kind of stability is rare to see in a startup company.

Cons

Their business model was not performing very well, and they had to make a number of layoffs.

Pros

The people. Seriously the most talented, intelligent, well-connected, awesome group of people I've ever worked with (though 98% of them were laid off for seemingly no reason around Thanksgiving). Friends for life. The London office seems to be chugging along fantastically, but fair warning to U.S. applicants...run far away. (You'll notice lots of positive reviews from the London office, but beware that several of these are fake from Marketing/Ops teams members to save face. Yikes. Shady business.)

Cons

Some of the worst upper management I have ever seen in any organization...ever. The founders are practically cyborg robots with no human emotion or empathy and they hire upper management puppets who do whatever they tell them to instead of smart leaders who challenge and further the business model. They've closed Las Vegas and Edinburgh without a peep, San Francisco is run by algorithms, and NYC is hanging by a string (less than a handful of employees left). London's seems to be doing grand, but they have no experts to help run the U.S. and it's obvious.
