Pros: - Everyone here is competent and teaches me a ton. - Very meaningful equity package, so if the company does well, so do I. - Thoughtful, pragmatic leadership that actively solicits and listens to feedback. - Rapid iteration speed and continuous deployment. - Super comfortable office space and good food. - My manager gives me a lot of input as far as which projects I want to work on. - I've been given a lot of ownership of projects. Just a year and a half after starting, I've already been given a lot of autonomy and the opportunity to lead projects. - Growth is consistently great, and we're on our way to being a profitable company once we start running ads. - Management is supportive of work/life balance. I've never been pressured to work more than 40-hour weeks.

Cons: - No 401k matching yet. In Quora's defense, virtually no pre-revenue companies do this.

Pros: Quora makes good clothing and gear for employees and top writers.

Cons: Quora does not have a good external reputation. It used to be that Quora was impressive on a resume. Not anymore, I discovered when I interviewed for engineering jobs in the spring. People are not excited to come to work, and they are leaving at a bad rate.

Pros: Smart coworkers, intelligent folks, but attrition is out of control.

Cons: Everything: poor product sense, poor micromanagement of daily tasks.
