Pros

Great people - smart and nice to work with. The problems are interesting, and people are generally receptive to change.

Depending on which area you work in, the scale can be enormous.

While the tech is well-established and successful, there is lots of opportunity to make an impact - there is plenty of room for improvement.

Cons

The product org isn't well established yet and is mostly centralized in NYC. Priorities can sometimes change rapidly, and product and design people are stretched too thin.

Advice to Management

Broaden the product and design group so they can spend more time with the engineering teams and be co-located.
