Pros
* As an engineer, I have complete freedom to work on anything I want to - choose my project, technologies, design, and architecture. Public design reviews help assert that I'm on the right track, and teammates are always available for support.
* I joined Quizlet for the product, and I'm excited to see it grow in usage and feature set.
* People first policy - wide support community within the company
* Learning based culture - common usage of flexible development budget, and regular lunch n learn teaching sessions
* Transparent management decisions - regular company meetings explaining thought process behind strategy
* Career growth opportunities - almost all manager meetings include an explicit career development section - if you're up for the challenge and responsibility, promotions are always on the table
Cons
* Pay is lower at Quizlet compared to engineering peers at other SF companies
* It's no longer a startup - we're less scrappy and more calculated
