Pros

The new codebase is very clean, and the architecture is incredibly well thought out. There are many very senior engineers doing some truly amazing work here. Iron sharpens iron, and I'm learning a ton from this very talented team.

With the new site redesign and the bump in hiring, this company will soon be taken very seriously as a Facebook contender. Buy into this place as early as possible.

Cons

Not a whole lot of room for junior engineers since the engineering team is still on the smaller side. Senior engineers are spread pretty thin as it is, and the latest round of new hires needs time to mature.

The management team isn't completely built out yet, and many managers are new to the role. That being said, the management team absolutely knows what they are doing and come from some of the best companies in the industry.

You need to be comfortable being independent here. It's a startup after all; no one is going to hold your hand.

Advice to Management

Keep on rocking and don't let anything distract you. We're doing great and are on an exciting trajectory.
