Pros

A lot of interesting problems to solve. Management actively listened to engineering and let us lead the industry on technology. It was great working closely with visionary leadership: Mike Cagney (CEO), June Ou (CTO), and Matt Conroy (VP of Technology).

Following the unfortunate leadership upset in 2017, I also learned a lot from the growth-centered leadership of Anthony Noto (CTO) and Tony Donohoe (CTO).

Cons

The biggest downside while I was there was the siloed and sometimes adversarial disconnect between the Marketing/Product group and Engineering.

Advice to Management

Restructure product teams to cross-functionally include marketing, product, and technical staff in cohesive teams with the same OKRs and enable them to win together.
