Smart people but ultimately soulless
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States

Pros: Great internal tools, tons of exposure to all kinds of interesting software problems.
Cons: Tiring to work for a company that stops being curious about its impact on the world.

Supportive Growth, Minor Pressure
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
September 22, 2016
Pros: The perks are amazing.
Transparency and openness of policy, leadership, and codebase.
Props to leadership admitting to their faults/failures and working to learn from them.
Supporting your growth – personal and professional.
Cons: New managers in transition, but that's inevitable.
Pressure to work more – this is very team-dependent. Despite efforts to say work however you like, if many people on your team are working throughout the night, it's hard not to feel the pressure.
Open office space isn't for everyone – where's my flow state? This has improved with more and more rooms being allocated for personal use and the ability to update work status.
The Seattle office is older than MPK.
