Work challenges, fun & games, (very) talented people. Unique culture that makes you feel part of something bigger than just 'work'.
Cons
Perks could be better. Company has start-up mentality, but is probably a bit beyond that stage why you would expect a set of core benefits that currently aren't there, i.e. pension contribution, health insurance (UK only) etc.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. DataSift is in the process of improving the UK benefits scheme. So be on the lookout for information on pension contributions, PMI and Season Ticket Loan programs in the coming weeks.
Team oriented collaborative culture is the secret to our success, along with fully engaged, energized and forward thinking supportive leadership; and great people. Plenty of autonomy to be creative and innovative in my job.
Cons
None unless you don't take well to a fast paced open environment where continued change is a certainty and opportunity is plentiful for innovative thinker/doers.
Working with smart people on great technology.
Lunch is provided.
Employees are well supported with regards training and conferences.
Cons
Startup chaos
Formulating processes and procedures
Communication can be poor
No pension or health care
