Questions

Overall, a great place to work
Senior Software Egnieer • Current Employee

Pros: Google-like vibe within the org, thus highly technical projects, etc.
Cons: It's a bigger company than I'm used to, thus things move slower. It feels like it's more important being nice than getting stuff done/performing.
3.0
Good Benefits, Toxic Managers
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Very good fringe benefits and decent wages.
Probably will IPO some day for real after a decade of fumbling.
Interesting challenges, still small enough for individuals to make a difference.
Cons: Rewards showmanship over thoughtfulness. Entertaining presentations get the attention.
The company takes many days off during the work week for hack weeks, parties, and other feel-good events, when we should be working on the product.
Toxic managers exist and are retained, while people run away from them.
Chaotic product decisions are the company’s legacy.
Site is down a lot.

Well-organized, fun, and engaging internship with a lot of support, plus an overall fantastic company
Software Engineer Intern • Current Employee

Pros: Benefits are great: free lunch, unlimited free snacks, you choose how often you want to come in, if at all. Work is challenging and engaging, yet fun, and the people are phenomenal.
The NY office is gorgeous, on the 33rd floor of the World Trade Center, with a bunch of in-office perks, so you feel super motivated to come into work.
Everyone genuinely cares about you and your wellbeing, and the culture is super fun and collaborative.
Cons: Can't think of one. Just an absolute dream of a company to work for.
