Pros

The stock options are going to be worth something, so it's worth coming if you can negotiate a large grant. The hours are pretty good, I leave the office by 6pm so it's not a bad place if you mind your own business and are satisfied collecting a paycheck and vesting. There are all the usual perks like free food. Hackdays happen every month.

Cons

It's a highly political environment where the people who get ahead are those who promote themselves the most. The management pretends like everything is hunky dory, but the culture isn't the greatest and morale is low. It's a product-driven company where engineers aren't recognized and don't get much respect. Having said that, we keep growing and making money, so something is definitely going right.

Pros

Great problems to solve. Great data to work with. Great potential in becoming the next big thing. Teammates with high hiring bar.

Cons

inter team politics senior management lack of focus Too much emphasis on non core business items. Running behind the next hot thing before perfecting existing ones. Kill all legacy systems and become a web 2.5 company as it should be.
