Pros

Free food The promise to go public (for the past 5 years) Management is aloof enough to let you do your job

Cons

Extremely political Extremely political (like NATO) The site remains insanely unstable Privacy gets lip service but no resources from an engineering perspective Everyone has access to member profiles (hello FTC) Management is learning as it goes (they're all very young) Management doesn't talk to each other

Not an engineering-friendly company, highly political

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

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.
