Pros: Great location, "9 to 5" work pace, co-workers generally very kind.

Cons: Schizophrenic management that lacks focus, a lack of trust in the judgment of subordinates, and a tendency to micromanage. Several high-level managers were incompetent and control freaks. Their bosses were unwilling or unable to recognize the problems and take corrective action before these people "poisoned" the company and the culture.

Pros: Nice work/life balance. Everybody here is so talented and friendly. Great place to work.

Cons: Everything is good since I got here.

Pros: Great environment and culture. Company fosters individual growth. Lots of perks and morale events. Z-speaker series! We've had Arianna Huffington and Vicente Fox come give talks, for example. Transparency. Free snacks, free lunches at the end of the month and on days where there are events. Great work/life balance. Fair, competitive compensation for engineers. Engineering teams are committed to moving forward and fixing issues with both code and process, rather than band-aiding things.

Cons: Growing rapidly, which is great, but things do change a lot. Sometimes it takes a while to catch up to them. Snacks rotate too frequently. Don't get too attached to anything, because it might be gone the next month. Lots of domain knowledge is required to move through the codebase very effectively. This can be a little intimidating for new hires and can extend ramp-up to several months if your work touches multiple areas on the site. Don't feel intimidated to ask someone, though, because we've all been through it, fully understand, and are working to improve it.
