Pros

-If you're in Venice, working on the beach is unbeatable. -Free lunch/dinner -Fun brand and exciting company to feel part of -Amazing benefits

Cons

-Mgmt is terrible and seemingly a product of nepotism and not achievement -Lack of cross-functional communication and a general lack of transparency -Constantly reacting to things instead of proactively addressing issues and innovating. -Consistent decline in morale during my time and no sign of improvement -Office culture is truly toxic -The perks and benefits are great but at the end of the day just a distraction from a mediocre job

Pros

-Small teams so lots of responsibility -Lots of smart and kind people -Competitive compensation (though stock vesting is backloaded to encourage 4 years)

Cons

-Culture is toxic and stressful. Think more Amazon than Facebook. -Employees are encouraged to work long hours to make up for lackluster code design, rather than improving the code. -More focused on ops and maintenance than long-term improvements to the product -Very top-down management, with most priorities coming from higher-up management than those closer to the product
