Pros

- Good Pay - Strong Engineering Culture

Cons

- No Diversity in Leadership and Engineering - Too many new hires too quickly. People have mostly stopped trying to met others outside of their team. - NYC Office is right next to Times Square. Rush hour is the worst. - French/American cultural differences that are not discussed causing some problems. Paris holds the second largest engineering office.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Strong engineering culture. The management layer are all engineers. The cofounders are both technical and get it. The product managers all have some technical experience, and PMs typically have more than one team under their umbrella, which results in a lot of technical freedom and influence. - Strong product development culture. Thinking big is encouraged, and roadblocks to product development are discovered and eliminated. Spending time to make the product work well is valued. - Engineering ownership. We don't have a QA team. You are responsible for developing the feature, monitoring it, supporting it. You own it. Some people don't like this and can't handle the ownership, but if you like responsibility, this company is for you. - Strong company, product, and financials.

Cons

Honestly, it's really hard to think of cons. I'll be here for a few years at least.
