Exciting, challenging work with lots of opportunities
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).
