Still a fun startup

Pros

* Management is very smart, sane, and transparent. Execs sit in the desk farm with everyone else. * Highly skilled engineering team doing amazing work on the product. * Fiscally responsible (i.e., moving out of downtown to save money; nice, but not lavish, parties and gifts). * Well stocked kitchen and you can request other items. * An enormous business opportunity. * Friendly culture - low finger-pointing, blaming, red-tape. Very much a "get-it-done" place. * Top-end Mac laptops and whatever other hardware you need. * Good work/life balance with flexible WFH arrangements. * Nice mix of on- and off-site social opportunities.

Cons

* Since it's a startup, it's not immune to stressful times, especially around product releases. * There are considerable engineering challenges to be overcome, but therein lies the opportunity. * The current office space has drawbacks in terms of noise level and meeting space, but the company is moving in the spring. * The "employee review/rating" form is outdated and doesn't fit with our culture. This is the biggest con.

Pros

Interesting, game-changing technology. New management team. CEO (Bob Walmsley) has stressed transparency and accountability from the top down. Regular, plain-talk communications from management with emphasis on clarity. Moving to Alewife in April 2017. Company rewards high performance.

Cons

Kendall Sq location can be a pain to get to. Moving to Alewife in April 2017.
