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

Small teams open up a ton of opportunity for you to lead projects & manage programs if that's interesting to you. If you're looking for a place where you can push yourself and grow your knowledge base, this is a good place to be. We also have a yearly, company wide event called 'Knitcon' where you can learn from or teach your peers & it's one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of. I've learned an extraordinary amount about several fields & grown to well versed competency in areas I had barely worked in before. You pretty much have full autonomy to manage your own time & projects, so as long as you're hitting goals and performing to expectations, you'll do well here.

Cons

Things move so quickly and people are always busy. Sometimes it's a struggle to get quality time in your manager, highlight some of the projects you've been working on, or get recognized for things behind the scenes.

Pros

- Great product. Our users love the product when they get it. - Great company culture. - Product/Design/Eng work closely to make things happen. It's not one single party's play, compare to Google/Apple.

Cons

- In the past we didn't do a great job to get rid of low performers. But we are fixing this and I am super happy to see the change.
