Pros

Terrific and very talented team that's dedicated to producing high quality products and excellent user experiences. Skilled, charismatic CEO who has a stellar reputation in The Valley

Cons

Flipboard is basically a family-run business. The CEO and Marketing Directory are married. In day-to-day terms, this has little impact on the workplace culture. But in many ways, many strategy decisions happen behind closed doors, so it can be challenging to have an impact. This also tends to slow down the product development process, which makes the company less nimble than it should be.

Pros

The engineering and product challenges are unique because of the problem space, and the team is very talented with a diverse set of skills. The team works on a really good product that adheres to sound principles and everyone is genuinely encouraged to do the "right" thing. Most people have a lot of autonomy and responsibility yet have flexibility with their work schedule. Lots of learning opportunities! There is also a lot of space for the product to grow and for us to contribute everyday. Long term gains are generally considered when deciding on projects. Despite being remote, the Vancouver office is extremely well thought of in the entire organization. There are a lot of interesting projects that we are always involved in. The team here works on the absolute core of the product and open and honest communication and transparency from all sides makes it a really fun place to work. Flipboard manages remote offices extremely well and everyone seems very receptive to feedback. There is an excellent vibe and togetherness among the people in the Vancouver office. Our office is near Gastown, and within a couple of blocks you can get some of the best coffee in Vancouver. We have our weekly team-bonding lunch on Fridays that no one wants to miss. The compensation and benefits are extremely competitive with the local market too. I genuinely enjoy going to work everyday.

Cons

Understaffed -- With a few more people, I feel Flipboard can achieve what most companies in this space haven't been able to.
