Pros

Food is rather good The new space is appealing and very well decorated

Cons

Most of the interactions I had were with people that refused to give into the scalability idea. They consider newer employees with experience from other successful companies a threat and will not consider any recommendations. Company still has no idea how to monetize, but still continues to spend money left and right on hiring/acquiring talent with no long term plans. The overall vibe of the company is super SF hipster (which itself isn't a con) but when you couple that with a bunch of people that don't really know what they're doing, it spells disaster
