Pros: Big engineering challenges but still small enough that individuals can make a real difference. Surrounded by very talented engineers, designers, and data analysts that will take the time to answer your questions and from whom you can learn. Management is incredibly transparent and open. Every Friday, there is a public Q&A with the CEO and senior management answering your anonymous questions. Every meeting with more than three people sends out notes so you can see what's going on with the rest of the company. It's clear at every step that Ben (CEO) really cares about employees and wants them to share in success longer term and enjoy their day at work. Like any company, there will be non-optimal groups or projects, but it seems pretty easy to switch groups if there is something else you want to do. I've worked at 4 different startups/tech companies now, and this is by far the best company to work for out of all of them. The perks, culture, and engineering are great, but the opportunities and care for employees are even better.

Cons: They are growing very quickly, and you have to be ready to grow yourself as well as upgrade existing solutions that aren't scaling. The foundational changes to scale in raw numbers of users and internationalize the product aren't necessarily appreciated by everyone. I've read a number of reviews complaining about a lack of engineering rigor, and in my experience, most of the problems they are describing are problems of growth, where the solutions that worked last year don't scale to this year's traffic. This growth leads to legitimate problems and challenges, but they are the kind of problems that you want—much better than the problem of not having any growth in users.

Pros: Great perks and benefits. Food was great.

Cons: Culture shift due to tech layoffs

Pros: Mountains of data to explore and process. Solid infrastructure and tools. A product that people love and a company that nurtures it. Organized onboarding processes get you up to speed quickly. Full of refugees from Google, Facebook, and other top tech companies. You learn from the best tech has to offer. Lots of new graduate hires to give you a fresh perspective and keep you grounded. Weekly Q&A with Ben isn't some canned event where questions are pre-selected and vetted to avoid uncomfortable questions. It's a town hall meeting where citizens can speak directly to the mayor. Authenticity is valued here. Meaningful equity.

Cons: The chairs kind of suck. Can be overwhelming when you first join.
