Process
Met GrubHub at a career fair.
I had my screening round on campus and was invited to an on-site interview.
The interview day included a talk by the CTO, followed by lunch. I had one coding and one design round.
Overall: I feel they hired people only from Ivy League schools, even though I performed well in the interview.
Nice office culture. Free food and drinks. Happy engineers!

Fun, Flexible, Illuminating Learning

Pros: This place is just pure fun and has flexibility like no other company. As a new employee, there's definitely a lot to learn about the platform, but everything is illuminating.
Cons: The work can sometimes be overwhelming – not too much, but just enough to put you on edge. That's something to be expected anywhere else, really. If you're not really being challenged, then you won't get anywhere. I guess this isn't really a con.

Great technology stack and great colleagues

Pros: Cutting-edge technology stack, minimal bureaucracy, and great colleagues. Some of the benefits, like unlimited time off and learning Fridays, are really awesome.
Cons: Your career path is not clear, and there's a lot of competition. Health benefits are middling. Unfortunately, the stock price isn't helping when it comes to competitive compensation.
