Pros

I've worked at several different firms in the tech industry, and there's no question that this has been the best experience I've had. Co-workers are friendly, intelligent, helpful, and fun. Excellent benefits and salary, and a great product of which we're all pretty proud. Atmosphere may be changing as all of the founders have left now and the organization is growing rapidly, but that remains to be seen.

Cons

Located in New York, not my favorite place but it works

Pros

1. it's a smallish team of extremely smart people. 2. good ideas and hard work are both noticed and rewarded. 3. bad developers are treated as replaceable automatons and tend to leave quickly. 4. recruiting has hit a real stride, and all the newest devs here are brilliant and appreciated. 5. OkCupid makes thousands of dates a day and hundreds of serious relationships happen. About #2. Since I've been here we haven't lost any developers who added constructively to the team, and some bad apples have left. There's no one sucky left.

Cons

1. we need another conference room. it's sometimes hard to find a place to meet 2. I'm getting fat from all the free breakfast

Pros

the release cycle is fast - tweaks can be launched minutes after you think of them your work at OkCupid really makes a difference in the world coworkers are smart and easygoing the office is an open floor plan, so communication is easy you get to work on some pretty cool technical challenges the development framework includes the best HTML templating language I've seen and allows you to avoid less pleasant aspects of C++ like manual memory management management provides helpful guidance when you need it without being micromanaging

Cons

the open floor plan means a little less privacy the custom development framework means a learning curve when you start the development process is relatively unstructured. This is bad if you need a tight structure (like hard deadlines) to get your work done.
