Pros

Snacks. Beer. Little to no supervision.

Cons

0 guidance from the top, or middle management. Complete and utter chaos on the direction of the company and therefore its projects. Ready to spend 6 months working on something so that a day before launch it can get the can? It happens to everybody. Here it will happen constantly, leaving you feeling like you just wasted a year of your life. Don't complain about it because then you'll get fired for not being perky enough. It feels like a gross cult with those who have not drank the kool-aide skulking around like outcasts meeting in secret to complain to each other. Never saw anybody get promoted. The inner circle here is a tight knit little club. Promotions are in title only, and totally meaningless. Insisting you have a great culture and that everybody has to focus on it, is very different from actually having one. A great culture is organic. Yours is forced.

Pros

Ripple Labs has the opportunity to improve financial settlement worldwide. The leadership is committed to achieving this goal, not as a disruptive startup, but as a constructive partner in the financial industry. The development team is passionate about open source software. Management is continually exploring new benefit opportunities for employees. The office in downtown San Francisco is top notch.

Cons

The company is growing at an incredible rate, but there is still need for more developers.
