Pros

I started here a few months ago and it's been fantastic. The teams are collaborative, they have a passion for the product, and everyone gets along very well. It's nice working for a company that's been around as long as OkCupid has but still doesn't feel "corporate". Casual environment, lax hours, and not a lot of red tape allows everyone to be comfortable and creative. One thing in particular I want to mention is that if you ask for something, the team(s) will listen! I proved that I can handle more responsibilities and management was more than happy to give me the opportunity to take on those responsibilities and build upon/expand my skills.

Cons

In the few months that I have been here, I can't say there is anything truly negative about the company or team.

Pros

I really enjoy the remote working, but also the work itself. It requires a certain amount of pattern recognition and research/investigation that fits my skillset. It also requires one to be able to be objective and to moderate from outside of any personal preconceptions you have about people.

Cons

Sometimes it can be really boring, honestly, and you need to be able to still stay focused when it is boring. You also need to be able to see things which you really don't want to see. We sometimes are forced to look at quite horrific aspects of humanity which I'd rather not have to even know about, but I balance this by reminding myself that it needs to be done and someone needs to do it. This is also a skillset that many don't consider when they think they'd like to be a moderator, the ability to not let the truly awful things become a part of you.

Pros

- Everyone is incredibly smart, talented, funny, and dedicated to making a great product. - Interesting problems, and space. - People care about the people they work with and the people using the product. - Good pay, and perks (if you care about happy hours and fancy yogurt). - Everyone is open to experimentation. - For the most part, the company is aware of its flaws. Which is good.

Cons

The company has experienced a lot of big transitions over the years, and because of that: - OkCupid is still figuring out what it should be. I do think it will get there, but OkC lost their way with the arrival of swipe-focused competitors. - It's still working on developing a solid product process. This is frustrating at times, but also an opportunity. It's improved since I started. - A lot of people are aware of the diversity problem. It's inclusive, but it won't necessarily appear that way looking around.
