Understaffed and overworked

Pros

- Free food - Great people

Cons

- Poor management - Understaffed as people have been leaving and no interest in filling the roles (not that anyone should join at this stage) - Shut down when asked for budget to go to conference - Travel policy for interoffice work is great on paper, but then you have to argue for them to actually respect it - Userbase dwindling and poor product experience - Underpaid - offered substantial raise after deciding to leave

Not a place for employee growth

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-People here are very nice and open to talking to you, and many team members are brilliant -Unlimited vacation days (and you really can take vacations when you want, if you need it) -Really fun, beautiful product that's tackling a lot of things (journalism, finding the best stories) -Historically one of the first apps ever to hit the iPad market, and still maintains a lot of brand presence -People think you're cool when you tell them you work at Flipboard, and there's a huge user base

Cons

-Very few opportunities for advancement. There's no internal structure for proper promotions or evaluating your performance (so no opportunities to review your work or ask for a promotion) -Lack of guidance for managers across the board. Company is still in a mindset of being a smaller startup than it actually is. -HR is not friendly or welcoming. Not the type you automatically want to go to for help when there's a problem -A lot of focus on keeping the product the same instead of innovating it over time to meet customer needs. The team operates on what feels like random intuition, instead of checking and testing with users or incorporating feedback -The product tackles too much right now. They're adding more and more features to it like a Christmas tree, instead of paring it down to the essentials. As a result, I'm not convinced the product is something people will automatically look at everyday
