Great Company, No Big Drawbacks

Pros

CrowdFlower has a history of poor management decisions and tough growth periods. As an employee who's been here for awhile it's clear the company has matured past that stage for over a year. The companies sales are skyrocketing, our tech stack has improved signficantly, and so has the quality and usability of the product. Coworkers and peers are great, management has been solid as well. Compensation and upwards mobility is pretty good too.

Cons

The industry itself is tough, and the mountain of work to do is high. You learn to pace yourself working here as there is just not enough time in the day to do all that needs doing.

Pros

Incredibly smart people. Very important mission. Beautiful, loft office space in the heart of the Mission. Talented people are rewarded with meaningful work and more responsibility. Transparency and honesty are valued highly here.

Cons

Possible con if this doesn't suit you: the company changes very rapidly. If you're not comfortable with change and a fast pace, this probably won't be the place for you.
