Pros

Exciting and fast paced work environment. The company is on the cutting edge of breaking news and there's a real satisfaction in knowing that the work you do is providing tangible benefits to the users. Great company culture and lots of good perks make it actually enjoyable to come to work every day.

Cons

Still has some of the growing pains associated with startups. Need to be comfortable working at a company where there aren't yet clearly defined career paths. Shift work schedule isn't too bad but it's still shift work.

Pros

The company occupies a fascinating space at the intersection of data science, world affairs and social media. If you're obsessed with data and current events, it's hard to imagine a more thrilling job. The team is top notch. Easily the brightest, most talented group I've ever worked with. The product is making a huge impact and contributing to its success is extremely gratifying. The atmosphere is great. Exciting, entrepreneurial, casual. Refreshingly little politicking and bureaucracy. Company is growing very rapidly, creating lots of opportunities for project ownership and advancement. Solid perks, not to mention the best office snack situation I've ever seen.

Cons

Truly don't have anything negative to say. It really is a terrific place to work.
