May 24, 2013
Pros: 1) Everyone is insanely smart, so it's a great place to progress.
2) Despite everyone being smart, people have no ego. No one is territorial. If you don't like something and think you can do better, go at it.
3) The internal culture, built around the "hack" directive, is very strong, very motivational, and makes me feel very comfortable.
4) Immense data to analyze.
5) Everyday a chance to make an impact.
Cons: Okay, so it's not in downtown San Francisco. That's really because I have to say something here.
