Pros

Benefits. Very little cons. Looking back it's hard to remember a day that I felt happy to go to work and proud of the work we did.

Cons

There is so much wrong with this company. They do not stand by their values. They cannot compete with their competitors because they lack customer service. They hired a large amount of under qualified employees and it showed in their dealings with customers. They are so focused on the start up culture that they have no true culture outside of that. Their employees are numbers and they do not pay attention to detail when it comes to employees. As an example, they hire people under 21 but have meetings where they supply alcohol. They were heavily funded by large institutional investors and had no plan in place for when markets would seize up. This reminds me of the pre 2008 lending practices except there is no collateral. They don't care about their employees or their customers. Things don't look good for them as placing value in your employees and your customers are the only ways to have true success when you are not the only supplier of your product.

Pros

good snacks, better location, great benefits for people coming from IN

Cons

Mobile engineers are forced to work on Java API, Web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Angular and wordpress (Yes it is correct). From last 3 months company cannot find a project for us. When asked to Directors/VP we always get a same answer like "it's in the pipeline", "there is lot more work coming for you". No place for skilled mobile (Android as well as iOS) developers, engineering management is trying to keep all upper executives happy.

Pros

The benefits are good, if you were lucky enough to get in early, the stock options could make you a fair amount of money. The office space is very nice, if somewhat overcrowded.

Cons

In engineering, 80-100 hour weeks were mandatory, and not just at the tail end of projects. There was absolutely no work-life balance. In 2015 they hired a VP of engineering, later promoted to CTO who was openly racist, hiring 90+% people of his same ethnicity for all engineering positions. He would refuse to make eye contact with anyone he considered his lesser and reportedly would speak ill of english speaking employees in a foreign language. He hired multiple people at senior level who were not technically capable at an average level... seemingly based on race or prior association. Knowledge was hoarded among his favored group, and others who had been at the company were denied even access to look at their code.
