      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, if you negotiate aggressively Good food Good benefits Location is good, California is a nice place to live although expensive Lots of exposure

      Cons

      Management is constantly pushing you You don't work at your own pace, you have to work at everyone else's pace Need to stay after work everyday and go to work on weekends People are very egocentric and their ego is entirely tied to how much code they write I'm afraid of getting fired every single day

      Haven't seen anywhere better

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fast-paced environment - Easy to have a huge impact given our user base, analytics, and small number of engineers - Good compensation (especially with equity) - Very merit-based - if you're not pulling your weight, you'll be asked to leave. This means you only work with the best and brightest. - Lots of independence. People won't just be handing you spec and telling you to implement it.

      Cons

      - Very merit-based - if you're not pulling your weight, you'll be asked to leave. This it not actually a con at all if you're good. - With independence comes responsibility. If your stuff breaks, you fix it. But this leads to a culture of building awesome things - not really a con.
