Pros

Rare group of clever, collaborative and kind staff. The benefits and perks are great and it's exciting to have equity (all employees do) in a company that's going places.

Cons

They're sometimes too kind when it comes to letting an occasional unwise hire linger. The pace of growth and proliferation of initiatives makes for some internal communication breakdowns.

Pros

Exciting work on bleeding edge technology and best-in-class software. Product team is exceptional. Have made lifelong friends and contacts here ... the intelligence and sense of humor bar is set high.

Cons

Benefits (health, 401k matching) could be better. Rapid growth, dynamic nature of industry and global presence can make focus challenging at times. Compensation on some teams is below average.

Pros

Creative freedom and respect for creativity, very smart people some industry leaders that came over from other companies, building software to explore, organize and simplify the frontier of online advertising, free snacks and drinks, fun environment with jokes and laughing (if you want), parties and activities if you want to participate in that (not mandatory), world class location, good pay, company growing 2x every year, good benefits, you are not condemned for a failure or a mistake because the company is doing so well there's margin for experimentation and exploration, working with Big Data and coming up with solutions to scale things massively, anyone can initiate a project and if you can deliver on it (however small) or demonstrate its efficacy you usually get the green light to go ahead with it. If you are creative and need a place to demonstrate it, this is it. The CEO is beyond words smart about this industry, inspirational and is really nice. The rest of the upper management is top notch too. Context: I'm a C++ programmer but I also do an equal amount of coding here with Perl, Node.js, Lua and Javascript. I use the scripting languages to quickly demonstrate proof of concept and then if necessary use C++ to code a faster version.

Cons

Sometimes a very free atmosphere is difficult for some people who want to be "managed" (not me). My part of the company, engineering, is more about spontaneous projects that fit within our domain, initiated by smart people and guided by a light touch of management. As with all companies there are pockets of imperfection. People are people and that always involves a bit of friction, especially if you are working with a motivated, self-confident, smart and ambitious crew.
