Pros

Make an impact, little bureaucracy, awesome & fun team of people, and lots of users of the product. Great CTO, good CEO and many former Scribd employees have gone on to do impressive things. Definitely no regrets in working here - was probably my favorite job to date.

Cons

Often without a voice in decisions, leadership is lacking, product difficult to differentiate from competition, and team is too junior.
