      Pros

      - We're located right in the beach! - There's free food with 2 cafeterias + restaurants around work are free too - Salary is on par with SF/Bay area companies - Equity package is solid but strongly incentivizes you to stay 4 years. This is a pro (very low turnover ratio + coworkers are all very involved in the success of the company) and a con (lose out on equity if you leave early)

      Cons

      - Offices are spread out, need to walk 10min between them sometimes. - Equity package has backloaded vesting schedule so you have to stay 4 years for full benefit

      Pros

      - I just joined some 3-4 weeks back, but the kind of responsibility and ownership I have is a lot - Love the technology here - Incredibly helpful and smart co-workers - Growth potential and impact are beyond any measures

      Cons

      Teams are spread apart and it is hard to know what's going on in other teams.

      1. Work is not very interesting or challenging 2. Employees are required to work on very menial tasks, irrespective of their interests 3. The user growth for the product is stalling. There is literally no active user growth in the last 5-6 months 4. Senior management lacks vision, capability and good team-building skills
