      Pros

      Great benefits and environment, the owners care about diversity

      Cons

      Like anywhere, an inexperienced or incompetent manager will make your life miserable, there are quiet a few here. also cars get broken into all the time and the area is not safe after dark

      Pros

      Global Concept was really interesting Nathan and Joe are brilliant

      Cons

      Product is finitely extendable - limited learning potential as the transactional product cannot evolve. Fraternity-style conversations among peers

      Not the Airbnb it was pre-IPO

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - There are still some amazing people who work there (for now) - Compensation is solid and the stock is doing well - CTO has really helped improve the technical direction of the company - There are interesting problems to solve - D&I efforts within the company have seemed to improved

      Cons

      - Since the IPO, the company has shifted to twice yearly release cycles, and they still haven't quite figured out how to do it in a way that doesn't burn out all their employees - Work-life balance is something you have to fight for, not something that's assumed - Management quality is a mixed bag, and there's not consistent training for managers to improve - Currently, all designs have to go through CEO review, which creates a large bottleneck on decision making - Deadlines for projects frequently aren't based on the size of the project, but the desire for an idea to align with an upcoming release - Lots of reorgs, especially when leaders from a different company join
