Pros

Great atmosphere, lots of opportunity, still a small company. It's great being a part of such an exciting company. Every day is an adventure, and it's like nothing I've ever experienced.

Cons

The food is not very good. It's usually cold, and the vegetarian options aren't great. The food is better than Google, but not as good as Twitter.

Being at such a young, immature company means the benefits are young and immature. The salary is okay, but I still took a 40% pay cut to join this company. Hopefully, the stock options will be worth something someday.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work! Hire some kitchen staff that can make real food, though.
