Pros
Used to be a great place to work. Smart people, important industry, meaningful work.
Cons
It seems to be a classic case of small company gets a large investment and doesn't know what to do next. There is virtually not accountability. Teams can go on for years without completing what should be a simple product, and the response from management seems to be just to give them more money. The result should be fairly predictable. The "Learning" organization is a perfect example of this. Over two years into the project, they still didn't have a completed product or even concrete vision so more and more resources got thrown at them. Rampant cronyism results in incompetent "managers" who throw around terms like "MVP", "agile", or "start-up culture", while clearly having no idea what they mean. And while you might think the lack of accountability would mean people play nice with each other (no need to fear getting fired), its probably one of the more vicious organizations in terms of backstabbing and such I have ever seen. Also if you are not in the NY office, you are very limited in what opportunities are available to you, despite their claims to commitment to the other locations.
