Pros

Amazing location(s), incredibly smart people, THE BEST benefits you can get...and 100% covered by the company, provides everyone with snacks/food/whatever you need so you can get your work done, no office politics or drama. Simply, it's the coolest company and best place to work you can find. I'm not sure what the negative reviews were about...but those people must be crazy. The one even said bad location??? We are literally in a BRAND NEW office with ocean view in Santa Monica and our other location two blocks away is amazing too...with ocean view on SM and 2nd. If you can work here...work here. It's amazing!

Cons

I'm sure the same issues that any company experiencing explosive growth would have - changes in product roadmap, lot of new employees, startup environment...

Pros

Food, great benefits, location, fun in the beginning

Cons

Worthless stock options (they offered more options to be bought back in lieu of a bonus- shouldn't they have wanted these back if they are worth anything?), poor management, execs are more like cult leaders in their need for blind devotion to the "cause" (of which I'm still not clear on), political to the core
