Pros

TONS of opportunity to really build a position for yourself. Rarely will anyone ever say "No" if you want to start up some side project. Everyone you work with is smart and hard working, and everyone is very driven You really feel like they care about you as an employee Innovation is the name of the game here- we're all constantly being encouraged to find new, groundbreaking ways to go about our work. It's very exciting. Great perks- I pay $100 a month for me and my partner- for the best insurance, medical, and dental. The ESPP is amazeballs

Cons

The rate of growth is light speed, and that sometimes makes it really hard to figure out who needs to approve something. Half of the time on any given project is spent hunting down someone who can say "Yes" Cross-functional collaboration is generally subpar. Everyone is so insanely busy all the time that it's hard to get on their radar. Internal change management can be a huge struggle because of it. And the pieces aren't all aligned- it's not uncommon to find that three different teams in three different departments are all working on a similar project with no knowledge of the others. Salaries here aren't bad, but they aren't super competitive. A lot of the folks we lose go for that exact reason.

Pros

The best place I worked so far. Fast growing, full of passion, and you can learn tons from here. The entire atmosphere are awesome, people around are energetic, colleague are smart, funny and very nice! Everyone are easy to communication and ask for help. Compensation is great, close to IPO, I believe if you work hard you can get what you pay for.

Cons

Don't find really one so far, office feel a little crowd now, need move to a spacious place. Codebase is a little mess, have some tech debate need solve.

Pros

Many people with great experience to share, many people with high energy to get things done! There's a sense of mission and devotion to quality. Office culture and policies constantly being reviewed to make things better.

Cons

So many things to do, you have to learn to keep focus. Open Office setup takes some getting used to.
