      Management needs a clue

      Pros

      Unlimited time off for vacation. Free food. Good health benefits. 401K is non-matching but decent. Location is ideal in SF.

      Cons

      Two camps of people. Old blood vs new blood. Old blood refuses to give into scalability of new blood. Considers newer employees with experience from other successful companies a threat and will not consider any recommendations. Company still has no idea how to monetize, but still continues to spend money left and right on hiring/acquiring talent with no long term plans.

      Pros

      If you're an Engineer, it's not a bad place to be. If you're not, avoid.

      Cons

      Disorganized and weak management. Lots of junior managers in senior roles.

      Pros

      Lots of food. They serve a ton of snacks and meal options. Great perks for a startup, they are competitive with Zynga and Facebook on this. Short work hours, everyone leaves at 4 pm on Fridays for Tea Time. Low expectations for team members. easy to get promoted to Tech Lead. If you are coming from Google you will feel like a genius. Extremely social company, very friendly leadership. High salaries and restricted stock.

      Cons

      Very frustrating to be a Software Engineer coming from an environment like Google. Unusually high turnover for a startup tech company, particularly among senior management and high performers. You never know when someone is about to leave -- and often you have no idea why. Very secretive. I have no idea how the company is doing in terms of finances. Most big news I read about in Tech Crunch. Engineering reputation is poor. It's getting better, but hiring is difficult.
