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).
No 401K matching, and I think the compensation is probably lower than Google/FB if you don't value the stock highly.
I think we should offer higher salaries since stock options upside decreases with company maturity.

Had an initial hiring manager call, then a coding interview. The technical interviewer was very terse during coding questions. No feedback provided (and claimed they could not provide feedback), which I felt was extremely unhelpful and my reason for
