Meta

• Pervasive focus on impact.
• Plenty of opportunity to make an impact, as we ship to millions of users on a short cycle with very little red tape. We are not afraid to make mistakes, though of course we strongly prefer to avoid them.
• Strong overall compensation.
• Excellent on-site food options. I eat here at every opportunity.
• Fun "work hard play hard" internal culture. Coworkers tend to be "from the Internet". Many lolz are had.

• Now eating too many sweets because they're readily available.
• Sometimes feel like I joined too late (e.g., hear Proposition 30 complaints from coworkers, doesn't apply to me).
• Continued growth has decreased the small company feel somewhat.

Beginning to develop internal politics.
