Pros

Flipboard is has very welcoming culture. They definitely take care of their employees. Time to time we have free lunches/ happy hours. Theres always snacks around, and they celebrate everyones birthday! I've felt very welcomed as an employee here! Its also a phenomenal place to grow as an engineer! Upper management is always looking for ways to make the application great for its users and this usually involves using the latest and industry-wide technologies! I've gotten experience working with Python, Java, AWS, databases, and so much more. What makes Flipboard truly different from any other companies I've worked at is how close the employees are to upper management. We speak to the CEO, Mike McCue, on a weekly basis and the other leads on an even more frequent basis. Very different from most company cultures that I've been a part of!

Cons

I'd be lying if I said there were any cons.. After working at a few other companies, Flipboard has been the best experience
