Pros
  • Fun, engaging workplace.
  • Engineering-driven tech company.
  • Encourages employees to be bold and try things out.
  • Values ideas and their implementation over employee seniority.
  • Bottom-up decision making, allowing employees to determine how they can make the most impact.
Cons
  • Competitive environment.
  • Sharp drop-off in compensation for new employees.
  • The focus on moving fast often means that the company spends a lot of time going backwards or iterating. This can be frustrating or exhilarating, depending on whether you see the iterations as unprincipled or a necessary component of shaping a product that a billion people find useful.
