Pros

The business is doing well in terms of revenue. And the company is always "roll"-ing out new products. You'll hear lots of puns like these in the company. There are lots of team outings, and you will see efforts to improve the culture and the feedback system all the time. You will get chances to go to meetups, conferences, give tech talks, and grow in your career. In fact, this company has alarmingly fast promotion rates. It seems like every other person gets a senior or a director title every 6 months. So to re-iterate - the business is good.

Cons

Everyone from the executive team, the vice presidents, to the sales pitches are all swinging the company's Big Data accomplishments. Big Data this, Big Data that. "Do you have something to say about our Big Data? No? Then I'm already bored of this conversation." If you aren't doing anything related to Big Data, you won't get much attention from the executives about your individual contributions. So all the reward systems set in place are mainly for Engineers who specialize in working with big data or sales people who can bring in large clients. The executives don't have time for sugar coating. While efficient on their part, you are left wondering if you would do better in another company. And if you voice this concern, you'll probably be asked to leave.

Pros

As an engineer I found tons of opportunity to expand my skill set and career. Learning is encouraged at all levels. Everyone shares their knowledge and discoveries. Senior engineers can continue on the path to technical wizardry or move into people management. Management rewards those who take initiative to improve the product or business. Org is mostly "flat" for a company this size. Exec team are generally approachable. Excellent compensation compared to most SF tech companies. Love the office. After working near the sleepy Palo Alto Research Center, this SOMA location is a dream come true. Fun! The people at AdRoll are what make it an awesome place to work.

Cons

The organization has moved past the "startup" phase, if that's what you're looking for. It's a challenge now to know everyone by name. Roles and processes are more defined. The flip side is that the company is stable and doing well.
