Pros

Company values and culture are uniquely great. It's a very quirky place. Benefits are great too with a lot of time flexibility.

Cons

We used to be naive and not know what we're doing, but it was a lot of fun. Now we have too many ambitious careerists that are looking to coast, say no a lot, and don't know what they're doing. Party's over.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
