Pros

Great Brand name. Exposure to some great problems in the industry.

Cons

There is very little to learn. The company is full of new college grads who hardly know how to write maintainable code. The company has a very little sense of direction and believes in throwing money at every problem. The CEO believes that employee should at least put in 80 hrs/week. No work like balance.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
