Pros

- Tinder's at a sweet spot where its user base is big enough that anything you work on reaches a lot of people, but the company is small and young enough that every person has the opportunity to work on meaningful problems. - The people are all really cool, down-to-earth, and smart. - Huge opportunity for career growth for those who are hungry. - The West Hollywood location is super unique and within walking distance to tons of bars and restaurants. - There are a ton of engineering challenges to solve because the original app was written hastily. - The caliber of engineers has gone way up in the last year. - The leadership team is focused on listening to the team and fixing issues that need to be fixed. I think this could be done more proactively, but at least it's happening.

Cons

Not enough focus on our mission and taking the product to the next level. Many people in the team are disconnected from how the product really works and who our users are. This is somewhat natural because so many people are in relationships or married, but we should do more to help with this. I wish there were more opportunities to connect with people from across the company and offices (WH and PA). 200 is still a pretty small company and all of the teams are really cool, so more mixing of people and ideas would be great. The pay is relatively competitive and better than many companies, but if you're at the top of your industry you'll probably get better offers elsewhere.

Pros

There isn't too much to complain about at Tinder. Honestly, the best part about Tinder are the people. The majority of people who work here are very motivated and genuinely care about what they are doing on a day to day basis. Everyone is very passionate and all working towards the same goal. - Free meals everyday - Great social events -Sponsored Happy Hours -Flex Hours - Amazing office - Free beer and wine on tap - Fun coworkers

Cons

It has been an interesting transition, but I think for the best. Scaling is always hard in an organization, but I think our upper management has our best interest in mind. Sometimes the road map is a little unclear in terms of long term goals for 6 months to a year

Pros

Awesome, passionate engineers. Top pay for LA, great perks. My hiring process was super great as well. Recruiting was awesome and made me feel like they were on my side. The bad reviews are baffling to me. I am pretty plugged in and the vast majority of people are super happy.

Cons

The growing pains that Tinder has gone through have been tough for some people but I've seen it as a positive. We're growing up and adding more structure to a company that really needed it. People don't do well with change so it makes sense that some people would be unhappy.
