Pros

Company is highly visible, in large part because senior leadership goes out of their way to promote themselves personally. The overall vision and market opportunity is there, so for sure there is a possibility of a good outcome with respect to exit opportunities.

Cons

Management is really self centered. Perfect example, a lot of the "awards" they're constant going to fancy dinners to receive were actually bought and paid for via marketing dollars. They used to be really focused on a good "exit" but now I wonder with our valuation being the obvious result of a bubble if a lot of management is now on a promotion tour for their next gig. CEO is a lawyer and sometimes I wonder if that's why we have the weirdest legal team I've ever seen. Since the CEO is obsessive about twitter everyone on that team who wants to ingratiate themselves with him uses it obsessively. Specific example they literally tweeted about a C&D we received from some rapper and the follow calls they had with their counsel. Just embarrassing to have people in those positions so giddy about getting the attention of a hip hop star that they had to rattle off a dozen tweets and facebook posts to brag about it.

Pros

- Good tech stack - Opportunity to learn

Cons

- Lot of politics in the management and retention of employees in the company is not based on the work/skill - Think twice before joining if you belong to a minority as harassment is common and diversity efforts are nothing more than an eyewash - If you are not into the habit of social drinking, you might feel hostile [the name of the weekly meeting in the company was called `beer meeting'] - CEO / COO and a handful of people in engineering management are total sadist/narcissistic predators. Employees who are vocal about this are usually moved to different office locations in the name of re-org and many good / skilled employees left the company - Also, I intuitively felt some religious means of control in the company but I don't want to talk further about it
