Pros

The best place I worked so far. Fast growing, full of passion, and you can learn tons from here. The entire atmosphere are awesome, people around are energetic, colleague are smart, funny and very nice! Everyone are easy to communication and ask for help. Compensation is great, close to IPO, I believe if you work hard you can get what you pay for.

Cons

Don't find really one so far, office feel a little crowd now, need move to a spacious place. Codebase is a little mess, have some tech debate need solve.

Pros

I absolutely love this company. - They've done an amazing job hiring people who are not only incredibly talented but also a blast to work with. The culture is focused and supportive. - If you have the ambition, there are opportunities to match it. I've seen people make entire careers here in the span of a couple years. - Empowering management style. You're trusted to exercise good judgment and make your own decisions. - Experienced senior staff. SVP Engineering ran Google Apps for several years and is extremely sharp.

Cons

- The company is growing extremely fast, so occasionally people get moved into leadership positions who shouldn't have been and it takes too long to move them out. - While people are empowered, they aren't always held accountable. The company has some growing up to do in that sense. - There is a lot of technical debt which can be pretty frustrating at times (but also means that most things are getting rewritten, which can be quite fun to do).
