Pros

- Young, energetic, smart, amazing people with a learning / teaching culture - Startup vibe allowing the opportunity to find places to plug in and make change and add value - Great technology and in a great sector (digital engagement) - Strong business model and financial growth - Investment in personal growth - Love the culture and the feeling of team & family - Fun environment with pool table, ping pong tables, kegs, food, etc - Our customers are some of the biggest and best brands. Like CBS, Bose, GoPro, TWC, Comcast and the list goes on

Cons

- Speed up backfilling positions (maybe this is ok. we do hire great people) - I would like to see more folks eager to find opportunities and make change. We aren't so big that we cant make this place what we want. I have been at a few startups and part of the excitement to me is that we own it. You can't put it all on the company. - Identify high potential/performers faster If you have every had a job, you know the perfect place doesn't exist. There will always be something. With that said, I am a positive person who finds the best in things rather than dwelling in the things that could bother me. If I don't like something I just try and change it.

Pros

+ Generally friendly workplace, can be a little clique-y on some teams, but overall, people here are easy to get along with. + Can't speak to the other departments, but engineering hires very well. Coworkers are all very smart, capable people who are bullish on improvements, care deeply about their craft, and don't settle for stupid hacks. + The work is both challenging and interesting. + People actually care about tech debt here. + The work environment is relaxing and offers generous vacation time (untracked) and work from home policies. + Management encourages a culture of openness and transparency that while not perfect, at least makes you feel comfortable voicing your opinion. Whether anything comes out of that probably varies by manager, but my managers are all good folk so I don't worry about that =).

Cons

- If you work here you gotta be capable of giving yourself direction and making/clarifying important decisions on your own because management sometimes drops the ball by throwing out half finished requirements and expects you to fill in the blanks. I'm probably making it sound worse than it actually is, but regardless you gotta be a go-getter. - There is a major lack of communication between departments and this hurts product focus among other things and is pretty much the reason for the consistent annoyance of direction and scope changes for feature work and why the product can't always get the improvements it needs. - No matching 401K. - Free lunch is provided on Tuesdays, not Fridays. I know the complaint is petty, but I can't get over it.
