Pros

Quixey is a hidden gem here in the Valley. Most people don't know we exist, but once they find out they're blown away. We've been quietly producing some of the most exciting product in tech, and are very close to revolutionizing the way people search and use their phones. In addition, the company is full of kind and intelligent people that are a ton of fun to work with. It feels like we're all one big family.

Cons

Rapid growth is always accompanied by growing pains, and we all need to realize that this is part of our transition into a large, established company.

Pros

There are a few very talented programmers that will make the experience here worthwhile. The work environment is also very relaxed and flexible, allowing you to work from anywhere and take paid days off as long as you get your job done. It is a ridiculously comfortable life here.

Cons

The management here is a bit confused. Often I am given tasks that either are simple fixes better left to the people who originally wrote the code or incur an opportunity cost from not assigning me to code something more difficult and critical. I feel like I could be much more helpful, but I was not able to convince management to support me to help across the teams.

Pros

People are all very very smart and capable. Great benefits Fantastic meals from professional chef Healthy snacks beyond compare Dart guns and darts all over the place Posh offices (formerly Whats App ) Amazing parties, off sites, industry events Some good technologies

Cons

Company has no direction except the tact taken by its ego-driven CEO whose vision seems impervious to any business common sense, market realities, customer needs or market feedback. CEO sucks the life and energy out of the room, naysayers are promptly humiliated in company-wide meetings. Leaving employees are bad-mouthed during all-hands. The vision is forced onto employees regardless of their experience and it isn't working as evidenced by lack of users of any kind, partnerships or revenue given the amount of money raised Sr. mgmt is self-delusional, constantly talking, never listening to customers or partners Company is in serious trouble, un-Godly amount of cash raised with 5 strategic directions because none of them have any real traction. Partners really don't understand what Quixey actually does. Power play at the top with extreme conflict, whole company knows they don't get along. With money raised, company thinks it's the next Google, but it can't execute. People talk about executing in every meeting but so many meetings, no one has time to execute. People work 10-5, no sense of urgency whatsoever
