Pros
  • Smart people
  • Good work-life balance.
  • Lots of interesting things to work on (both in a good way and a bad way).
  • Tremendous upside, both intellectually and financially.
  • The product is actually cool once you cast off the stereotype that it's just for middle-aged white women in Kansas.
Cons
  • Food is average at best.
  • No gym.
  • Onboarding process for new engineers needs work, but it's getting better.
  • Company plan for shedding the initial stereotypes is not clear.
  • The office floor plan, open layout, and lighting suck.
  • There are some stupid political undertones brewing in the engineering org. I suppose that's inevitable, though, as the company grows.
Advice to Management

Trying to do too many things at once will lead you to doing none of them successfully.
