Pros

Great place. Lots of young people and lots of energy. I loved working in the startup environment and not feeling restricted in what I could do. You get what you put in.

Cons

Before I left things started to feel a little more corporate. They started implementing some company changes that felt a little restricting but that's probably for the best as the company grows.

Pros

Great infrastructure, small teams, very obvious goals.

Cons

Kind of weird, directionless management. Not a whole lot of heirarchy but it seems to be more than necessary/effectual.
