Flipboard reviews

Unique position in market. Accumulated a (dwindling) loyal user base

- CEO is one of the best and is a totally down to earth guy and he trusts us and keeps us up to date with everything that is going on - We are working on a cutting edge product that is helping sustain and promote continued quality journalism across the publishing industry - Team is smart, hard working, collaborative, with a good balance between experienced and more junior team members. - Product is best of the best and getting better every day - Partner with world class publishers and partners - Some of the best investors any young company could ask for - Office space is flat so you can't tell whose who based on where they sit - Very casual dress. People only dress up on the sales team when they are visiting publishers and partners. - Lots of perks like three meals a day during intense work seasons; free drinks and snacks including organic fresh fruit, vegetables, hummus and other unique dips - Across the street from Whole Foods where there is an endless selection of snacks, salad bar, sushi, sandwiches, hot buffet, coffee/smoothie bar, and more - Peets, Philz, Fraiche (Blue Bottle Coffee), and Le Boulange all within short walking distance where you can get amazing fresh roasted coffee drinks - Downtown Palo Alto, where there are tons of restaurants of all types in case you want to go out - 7 minute walk to CalTrain and Palo Alto is a bullet stop so it's a quick 35 minutes from San Francisco - Bike friendly and onsite bike storage. Flipboard will even buy you a bike lock. - Very competitive/generous compensation for a start-up which I guess they do to attract top talent - Everyone gets equity (stock options) - Reimburse cell phones and tablet data since we all test the product - We watch major sporting events together. World Cup was a great team event. Though no one feels pressured to join if that's not their thing. - Balanced so people can eat dinner with their SO's and/or families and not feel guilty about it - Unlimited vacation and time off. People mostly respect it and use it for time away refresh and come back with even more energy. - High energy/exciting work environment - Everyone has a voice and can 1:1 time with anyone in the company no matter their level or title. As I said, it's very flat here. - I love it and wouldn't want to work anywhere else, at least not right now. Too much going on that's exciting. - Lots of opportunity to initiate anything whether a social activity or other. We are definitely a start-up. - We have our very own basketball team and play in a local league. - We have a fun office in New York! - Open grill in the summers in Palo Alto - really fun time when we each pick up our own meat from whole foods about once a week and grill it up and eat with all the other grillers - Good enough video conferencing so we can keep in touch with remotes
