Bright future but beware of turnover

Pros

Charismatic, bright, inspiring CEO, excellent product that the company is steadily fine-tuning while adding new features, and lots of room for growth within its industry. Seattle, San Francisco HQs are stylish with great views and standard manchild techie perks (junk food, beer, catered lunches, ping pong, etc.) along with solid pay & benefits. Engineering is well-run. Innovation & new ideas encouraged.

Cons

High turnover in marketing, communications depts. Comms has no clear vision, plans & goals change with the wind. Positions created then arbitrarily eliminated. Guess and test. Primary goal is not to anger management rather than succeed as a result.

Pros

Excellent culture, mission, and compensation package. Fun place to work doing something that matters!

Cons

Can be challenging working to change the nature of real estate in the face of an industry that is resistant to such change. However, if you like a challenge then it's not all that daunting, plus we are making headway which is really amazing to be a part of.

Pros

Really cool office, great location – right on the water. Views are unreal. Tons of free food and snacks. Benefits package is the best in Seattle.

Cons

HQ is incredibly disorganized. The company is no longer a ‘startup’ although it calls itself one – been around for over 11 years. Teams are VERY isolated and senior most leaders are not collaborative. Instead of working together, departments end up getting pitted against each other. This is caused significantly due to the fact that a lot of the executives don’t work well together. That coupled with the fact that there’s very minimal internal infrastructure will make any sort of operational projects next to impossible. If you come from any of the big seattle companies, this will not be the cool scrappy start up that you imagined. Also, pay is significantly lower and there’s a bizarre title inflation for those who have been at the company for a while so everyone else gets held back in title.
