Pros

Engineering:

  • Strong senior engineers to work with and learn from.
  • Breadth of interesting problems/topics, from distributed systems, NLP, functional programming, machine learning, and deep neural networks.
  • Culture of proactive action and learning from mistakes, as opposed to the blame-shame-game.
  • Overall, a solid software engineering house, open to new things but not chasing every "oooh, shiny sparkly."

Company:

  • Emotionally intelligent team that does its best to be open to all types. New types welcome.
  • Clear goals, balancing long-term and short-term well.
  • Strong product development environment.
  • Growth mindset.
Cons
  • It's a challenge to grow the engineering team in the ultra-competitive Silicon Valley, hot-potato-engineer-passing environment.

  • Would like a bit more time off—something that would be even more of an issue for me if I didn't enjoy coming in to work as much.

  • More diversity on the engineering team—the females, the LGBTQI's, the browns—where ya'll at?!

  • Beware: not all teammates can tell you the difference between the future perfect and the future perfect continuous tense!
