Pros: I loved it here - amazing people!

Cons: I can't think of any, actually.

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: The people at Quora are extremely talented and smart, but what's really great is that people really care about their work. I've never worked at a place before where so many people love the product and what they do. The company also has a very open culture. I've been amazed at how open the leadership is about sharing attrition rates, burn rate, how much money we have in the bank, how much money we make, board meeting details, future plans, etc. Benefits are also very good. Food is served at reasonable times (breakfast till 10:30 AM, lunch at 12:30 PM, and dinner at 6 PM), and a healthy work/life balance is encouraged. Feel fine stepping out for an hour or two to do an errand or get lunch with someone (some of this probably varies by team).

Cons: No 401K matching, and I think the compensation is probably lower than Google/FB if you don't value the stock highly.
