Pros: Quora really hired the best people.

Cons: The company size is still quite small (you can look up its current number of employees), so some technical tools are not as mature as in larger companies like Google or Facebook.

Pros: - Coworkers are very smart and capable. - Management seems to be very transparent about decisions and finances.

Cons: - Not growing as fast as other similar social media/internet companies out there (Pinterest, Reddit, etc.). - Not much time to interact with coworkers when everyone is remote.

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.
