Pretty good!

Pros

Endless supply of challenging technical problems you won't find anywhere else. Incredibly smart and engaging colleagues. Goofy and casual, yet also professional, culture and work environment. Great benefits: healthcare and childcare premiums are totally paid for, pretty good lunches, commuter benefit, etc.

Cons

The software stack/platform (g-speak) is totally proprietary, so it's unfamiliar to new hires and skills learned aren't readily transferable to other employers. Critical internal services are down way too often. No 401(k) match.

Agreed! I cannot overstate how very important it is that we are having fun at work. No one ever changed the world doing something that was boring (to them). To your point about transferable skills, I think we’ve built a reputation for hiring in the top 1% and several of our former colleagues are working at organizations similarly renowned for the quality of their engineering and design practices. Looking across our tech stack today, we are using React, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, Go, C++, OpenGL, Swift, Android etc, all technologies that are very much in favor!

Pros

1. Learning engineering culture($500 budget for learning). 2. Challenging work, lots of edge technology. 3. Have private kitchen, it's optional to involve.

Cons

I couldn't think much, maybe it's located in DTLA, it's lots traffic to drive there.
