Pros

Great benefits, company is doing really well, great decisions regarding financial health, company is transitioning to scale so lots of fun work to do.

Cons

Cliques rule. If you are part of the "in" crowd, regardless of whether you deliver results, you are golden. Hardly any good leaders below that Exec level in terms of valuing employees. Not a place where, if you are looking to grow into director or above, you will get a lot of sponsorship. Place is top heavy, so very few of these spots open and everyone is competing for these few spots. Common complaint from peers is that there is not a lot of appreciation and recognition by their direct managers or management in general for jobs well done.

Pros

The people. From the interview process to every day working relationships. Even though the internet start up has 'grown up' , it still feels like a family that is close to you , even when you are communicating with fellow employees all around the world.

Cons

None at this time. Everything has been first class from the start.
