Pros

Great Co-founders really set the tone of excellence through humility. Lots of young, hungry, smart people work here and that's a great thing. Everyday is a learning experience. I love my job and look forward to coming in every day. People around me always work hard so that pushes me to do the same. After work there is always someone with something going on, which is great and helps build the important team spirit.

Cons

Middle management across the company could use some training/work but processes have been put into place. Salaries/options were low across the board (but that doesn't matter too much with the acquisition now). The youthfulness of the staff can also lead to some immature handling of inter-office situations but this isn't all that common.

Pros

Tons of benefits such as heath plans, retirement contributions, free bike, you apparently bring your dog to work now in Dublin, snacks everywhere Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Plus most people are very nice and have engaging interests. Free gifts e.g. phone every year for the past four years Chance of travel in Europe as well as the States and possibly other locations with a good stipend for expenses for the most part Free food and it's routinely great

Cons

No paid overtime work life balance can be difficult to maintain Advancement is very arbitrary depending on manager
