Nice people but

Pros

Most people there are smart and ambiance is really good (video games, happy hours), the building is a bit far west but the company offers a very good deal on Chelsea Piers membership.

Cons

The overall work ambiance is toxic … The company is there for 10 years but is still a start up, lack of roadmap, lack of communication, everybody wants to be a hero and save the company If you are in the engineering team, the stack is kinda old and not documented If you have career expectations, don’t plan on staying here too long, you’ll be disappointed don’t expect your manager to be interested in what you’ve done in the past : when you arrive there, you’re a puppy and your manager is there to teach you everything you already know.

Gone wildly downhill

Pros

Everyone at IC level in this company is intelligent, skilled, insightful, and overall great to be around and work alongside. Lots of snacks and lunch. Pretty flexible hours, not much "bringing your work home."

Cons

Over the past half year or so OkC has turned into what seems like an incredibly top-down organization. It's leadership's way or the highway, your input doesn't matter. If you don't care about that sort of thing, maybe this is the place for you.

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
