Pros

The people working there are amazing lots of high energy and all around great people. I suppose the beer and liquor during work hours is pro, right ?

Cons

The company was once innovative and an amazing place to be... then the whole IPO happened where only the founders stood to benefit. The board and specifically the CMO are the one who really control things which sucks when you're not an exec and left to wonder what other company you will be ripping off to sell to upset to customers.

Pros

Great technology and learning launchpad. Free lunch. Well known.

Cons

Many reviewers have already stated the cons, mostly with corporate structure, or lack-thereof. They are spot on. However, if you go into this role with an understanding of what it is and what you will get out of it, you will be much better off. There are many stressed out people working here, stressed due to low pay, high demands, and no one to listen (except other stressed out coworkers). Don't let them drag you down, but it may be inevitable. Many people feel trapped. There is always a revolving door of people coming in and out. Stick to your plan of learning and GTFO ASAP. Don't even think about getting promoted. Oh and there's no training, just sitting next to coworkers and listening. I don't know a thing about the CEO. I guess he doesn't care to make himself known?

Clique-y atmosphere

Pros

If you like alcohol, then you'll love this place.

Cons

Almost everything else. Each department ends up being their own little clique, and even within those groups there are even littler groups. Execs claim to be "for the worker" but their primary focus as to be for the company, so they're not really there for you.
