Pros
I had a great time working at Scribd. The best part is the team. I worked in engineering so I know that part best, but everyone I worked with was smart and dedicated. There are the standard startup perks. Many people are truly passionate about reading and books. Sabeen (head of engineering) is a terrific manager who keeps everything working.
Cons
The Scribd business is not doing that great. Between competition from Amazon and the publishers being unwilling to mark-down prices enough to let us get to profitability, we are going to have to figure out how to grow while staying profitable.
