Pros

Money is good, remote work policy is flexible, lots of very nice people in IC roles

Cons

It's a legacy product and doesn't get attention from their parent company anymore. The CEO does not have a clear vision and is constantly jumping between ideas that are then either not implemented or implemented in a very scatter shot way. The CPO is a former colleague of the CEO who is just their yes man. He's a smart guy but has no backbone. The best people are taken from okc and moved to other brands (Tinder and Hinge especially), leaving CMO, CTO, and head of finance are all very good, there's absolutely a team in place to make the company successful, but it's being stymied by the CEO.

Pros

Was nice while it lasted

Cons

Team that used to work here was completely dissolved, and the application thrown out. Today the app is a thin skin over ancient, junk tech, in an effort to maximize profit for their owner, dating-app monopolist and serial privacy-violator Match Group
