Pros

- Fast-paced environment - Easy to have a huge impact given our user base, analytics, and small number of engineers - Good compensation (especially with equity) - Very merit-based - if you're not pulling your weight, you'll be asked to leave. This means you only work with the best and brightest. - Lots of independence. People won't just be handing you spec and telling you to implement it.

Cons

- Very merit-based - if you're not pulling your weight, you'll be asked to leave. This it not actually a con at all if you're good. - With independence comes responsibility. If your stuff breaks, you fix it. But this leads to a culture of building awesome things - not really a con.

Pros

A bureaucracy-free environment that allows you to simply get work done Strong management with strong technical background all the way to the top Very metric-driven engineering team The ability to prioritize tasks based on what you think is important A remarkably well defined review process that encourages personal development in different areas Company policy to leave unnecessary meetings early or skip them entirely

Cons

Some politics and cliques Some user-facing projects have too many product managers Some late nights when supporting new code pushes Fighting fires can become a full time job
