      Wonderful, progressive workplace

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Great environment and culture * Company fosters individual growth * Lots of perks and morale events * Z-speaker series! We've had Arianna Huffington and Vicente Fox come give talks, for example * Transparency * Free snacks, free lunches at the end of the month and on days where there are events * Great work/life balance * Fair, competitive compensation for engineers * Engineering teams are committed to moving forward and fixing issues with both code and process, rather than band-aiding things

      Cons

      * Growing rapidly, which is great, but things do change a lot and sometimes it takes a while to catch up to them * Snacks rotate too frequently. Don't get too attached to anything, because it might be gone the next month. * Lots of domain knowledge required to move through the code base very effectively. This can be a little bit intimidating for new hires, and can extend ramp-up to several months if your work touches multiple areas on the site. Don't feel intimidate to ask someone, though, because we've all been through it, fully understand, and are working to improve it.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Very talented coworkers * A lot of opportunities to build new and fascinating products and data * Great environment * There are career opportunities in the traditional roles, not so much in others

      Cons

      * Very limited intra-team communication, some teams treat their areas as silos * Expertise of some employees not utilized to its fullest, leaving some very smart people wondering

      Good feedback about intra-team communication. The planning team meetings and the "what's going on" emails are supposed to help with this, but you're right that we could do better at this. Thank you for pushing me on this.
