Held back by poor management.

Pros

Money is good, remote work policy is flexible, lots of very nice people in IC roles

Cons

It's a legacy product and doesn't get attention from their parent company anymore. The CEO does not have a clear vision and is constantly jumping between ideas that are then either not implemented or implemented in a very scatter shot way. The CPO is a former colleague of the CEO who is just their yes man. He's a smart guy but has no backbone. The best people are taken from okc and moved to other brands (Tinder and Hinge especially), leaving CMO, CTO, and head of finance are all very good, there's absolutely a team in place to make the company successful, but it's being stymied by the CEO.

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

- company is quick to recognize hard work (promote, give raises, etc.) - high level of intelligence of co-workers / overall intellectual atmosphere (almost all employees are math/cs people) - easy access to management - startup-like atmosphere in a company that's actually already made it (i.e. secure) - the work you do affects people's lives - NYC street cred - yes, you can actually use your job to get dates

Cons

- quiet work environment - sometimes slow to actually go live with code I've worked on - missing some of the startup frills (free lunch everyday, beer fridays)
