Pros

Free food and unlimited drinks and snacks. Comparable perks and above average compensation. However, what excites me the most is the growth trajectory they are on right now after finally finding the right balance to monetize and make the community happy. That means growth in scale and size of the products, teams and engineering opportunities, with the backing of Amazon to make it happen. I feel now is really the best time to join if you have missed the pre acquisition opportunity as finally the leadership has started taking the issue of employees grievances seriously and making changes to gradually make it a better workplace for everyone.

Cons

A few pre acquisition employees feel entitled to only work on their own schedule and are just waiting for their last vest before they go. Good Riddance! Bad glassdoor rating from older days making it hard to provide the right impression to prospective new candidates making hiring unnecessarily hard.
