Pros

--They say it's a thing here and it is a thing: people are nice as a baseline and that makes working here very pleasant --Lots of autonomy to come up with solutions, run with an idea --The company's main year goals are veery clear and constantly reiterated; focus is a real thing here --Everyone seems very invested in user growth internationally --Feels like a start-up still but in a good way --Not much hierarchy--management structure feels fairly flat even if it isn't; execs seem humble and approachable

Cons

--Weekly company Q&A sessions feature a lot of demos from Engineers and sometimes I don't know what their referring to in regard to features, acronyms etc. --Company is iOS first as many tech companies are; with international expansion being a big goal, I think we should lead the way by becoming Android first --Documentation seems strewn across a variety of platforms and is not necessarily easy to access or find --adherence to hiring nice people has the potential to make some people afraid to give critical feedback; I'm not clear how we cut through that potential drawback

Pros

It's a job that has all the bells and whistles.

Cons

Leadership does not know how to address negative feedback. They sweep problems under the rug. Diversity is a huge problem, especially for women. The reason why there are so many great reviews on here is because HR makes sure to bribe people to write only positive reviews.
