Pros

If you can get a job here, consider yourself lucky. Round the clock free food, free public transportation, gym, and great pay and just a few perks. Energetic startup environment full of really smart people. Flat hierarchy. Walk-up access to CEO.

Cons

Environment HIGHLY collaborative. There are no offices, no cubicles, no phones for regular employees. Open seating at desks encourages constant face 2 face communication and brainstorming. This is not bad by itself but will not be a good environment for those who need quiet space and solitude to concentrate.

Not an engineering-friendly company, highly political

Business Outlook

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.
