Pros

Incredibly smart, productive coworkers. Fun, active office culture. Challenging workload with a ton of support. The best managers I've ever had.

Cons

The company is growing really fast, as other reviewers have noted. This can feel sprawling sometimes, although often that feeling is tempered by strong interpersonal relationships and encouragement to grow and share ideas.

Thanks for your review. While we're growing, we've been able to keep teams small -- which, as you know, helps us move fast and maintain strong interpersonal relationships.

Pros

You get to work on products and services that impact the most passionate business owners in the world. You can leave your fingerprints on commerce and help an important sector of the global economy flourish.

Cons

The company changes focus too often, slowing work through reorgs and leadership shifts. Communication is controlled. You can get a slap on the wrist for speaking your mind, which is counter to said values of transparency. The company touts that it is supportive of women, however, the male to female ratio is abhorrent.
