Pros

Scribd is demonstrating its new business model works and the company is growing quickly. Revenue growth has created opportunities for employees to earn promotions and take on more responsibility. In my time here, I've seen outstanding engineers get promoted and now they lead teams and manage other engineers. I've seen the company address area's where they've underinvested and aggressively hire in order to get the best engineering and design team onboard even when we're competing comp wise with companies like Facebook.

Cons

The compensation is at the upper end of the market, the benefits are great and competitive. The company serves healthy food for all three meals and everyone works hard. No complaints from me.
