Pros

We are at a stage in our company where we have a lot of interesting problems to tackle. We are small enough that our culture is still very start-up like, including the fact that we move really fast. It has meant that I have learned a ton in my few months here.

Cons

We have a few growing pains including accountability and ownership, especially since we are moving so fast.

Pros

· Mountains of data to explore and process · Solid infrastructure and tools · A product that people love and a company that nurtures it · Organized on-boarding process gets you up to speed quickly · Full of refugees from Google, Facebook, and other top tech companies. You learn from the best tech has to offer · Lots of new graduate hires to give you a fresh perspective and keep you grounded · Weekly Q&A with Ben isn't some canned event where questions are pre-selected and vetted to avoid uncomfortable questions. It's a town hall meeting where citizens can speak directly to the mayor. Authenticity is valued here · Meaningful equity

Cons

· The chairs kind of suck · Can be overwhelming when you first join

Pros

Whenever I hear Ben speak, I am amazed at his ability to inspire me and have a great sense of satisfaction working at the company.

Cons

Growing pains. But I am learning a lot and count my blessings every day that I get to learn so much from so many smart people, get paid doing it, get great food and perks, and when there are bumpy times i always remember 'a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor'.
