Pros: I'm just not used to waking up in the morning feeling so consistently excited about going to work. Being surrounded by razor-sharp, hard-working people who are deeply invested (both emotionally and in terms of shares) in what they're working on is intoxicating. Management is light touch, empowering people to make decisions, and it works. Releasing features and seeing how our >1.4m users and the press react is very motivating. The company makes a real effort to look after its staff (and its customers) — there's a real focus on improving mental health all round. Really intelligent approach to remote work that works really well (eg all meeting rooms having video conferencing and a dial in by default). Plus the option of a month's unpaid leave each year, cute dogs, fancy coffee machine, yoga in the office on Thursdays are available.

Cons: It takes over your brain. Keeping boundaries is hard.

Pros: Lots of good people, nice culture, potentially lots of interesting things to work on

Cons: Very product focused environment. If you're not on a product team and not one of the first 20 engineers, you'll struggle to progress Lack of direction from senior management. Other teams can't make up their minds but you'll be forced to chase their whims anyway Back office teams are under resourced and over worked, and do not have time to invest in improving their systems Doesn't do competitive salary reviews

Pros: Working with extremely talented and inspiring engineers and working on a magical product that users truly love make it a really fun place to work.

Cons: More free food please ;)
