Great learning opportunity for yuppies
Great learning opportunity for yuppies
- Young engineering culture, with lots of smart people from good schools.
- Engineers are very open to new, blazing-edge technologies, offering lots of stuff to learn.
- There's a general emphasis on transparency and collaboration.
- Everyone is motivated towards a common goal.
- Plenty of opportunities to reach out to the open source community, give talks, etc.
- Leadership is super tech-savvy and accessible, especially to the engineers.
- People are generally super cool.

This basically becomes your life. You're expected to answer calls and fix things after hours, even if you're not technically the person on-call. Engineers here talk and think about their jobs after hours, on weekends, on vacations, etc. If you're not part of this almost-religious culture, then you probably won't be promoted.

Engineers are focused more on implementation than on the user interface. We have UX people, but they generally don't chime in on every single feature. Time and again, I've been shocked at how frustrating it is to use our own product.
