Pros

- Great location in San Francisco, amazing office design, full natural light! - People are very friendly and helpful - Great culture, which is the result of their difficult interview process. Even if you are technically very talented, not being a good cultural fit will filter you out! - Very smart people to work with. Every one is very passionate about what they do.

Cons

- I haven't noticed any "Cons" yet! honestly!

Pros

- Exciting products - Very smart people to work with - Given independence in the tools that I can work with - So much perks like foods and beers - So much social activities, like Melbourne cup and EOFY parties.

Cons

- Can get left behind by everyone if you don't blog regularly. No one will notice you're there. - They claim that they're an open company - but there are so many secrets. Some people are kept in the dark about things they want to know. - Management not interested in career development - very hard to move to another position that you're more interested in. They'd rather hire new people.

Pros

- Some very smart and interesting people (but they're getting blander). - Some (increasingly limited) space to test your own ideas with 20% time (your percentage may vary) and ShipIt Days. - It's rare that you're asked to put in extra hours due to someone else's failure. - They have some genuinely cool staff functions every year: Melbourne Cup & EoFY.

Cons

- Since the company took outside investment, it became a much less pleasant place to work. - Products and technology aren't that interesting. - They usually fail to recognise or reward people for achievements. - No interest in career development, or appropriately matching roles to your skills, experience and interests. - It has made a big deal about its edgy corporate values, which were very true at the time they were formulated, but they don't seem to mean much to new senior management. - Definitely not an inclusive employer. Has been called out as being hostile to women on a number of occasions. - The HR ("Talent") department is almost entirely concerned with recruitment and self-promotion and is incredibly under-resourced to do anything else, even by their own admission. The company is suffering in a number of respects as a result. - An ineffectual and often damaging performance management process. - Some other very dubious HR practices. - Basic office facilities suck. Most employees just get a desk and a chair, no drawers or anything else.
