Pros

No known pros. Well, maybe the Nutella. I did like the Nutella. Pickles too. Good snacks. That sort of thing.

Cons

It's hard to know where to begin. There are deeply embedded cultural problems at the company that make it impossible to ship anything. Any talent that remains in product and eng is running for the doors. The C team is running the show, after the previous B-team execs left en masse once their golden handcuffs came off. The CEO, Danny Winokur, is totally adrift and is in over his head. Not a snowball's chance in San Francisco that this company makes it. The company reminds me of the show “Chernobyl” in terms of the lies, the lack of accountability, the technical incompetence and the meltdown for which it’s headed. Join only if you have given it your best shot in life and came up short and have just decided you don't care about where you work.
