Great work environment, chaotic management
Great work environment, chaotic management
Lots of smart people. Working at scale is challenging and fun. A strong emphasis on work/life balance means work does not take over your life. Clear performance reviews and regular compensation increases make me want to stay.
The perks aren't as good as Google, but they are better than most. Free coffee and the SF shuttle are huge.
Unstable, annoying politics and some senior people who really seem clueless. Projects that are dead out of the gate are left running until they flame out, but small, innovative ideas are not given support. "Hack" culture is promoted, but not implemented.
Tear down the walls between little fiefdoms, pull the plug on failing projects sooner. Take more small risks and fewer big ones.

Great experience. I had two rounds: technical and behavioral with the hiring manager. The process was smooth, and they stayed in touch the whole time. I had a better offer, so I declined, but I loved this experience.
