Pros

Product folks: get stoked. Although we spent the better part of last year focused on rebuilding our tech stack, we are now celebrating the astonishing uptick in “idea-to-prod” velocity. Concepts are designed, user tested, and deployed in weeks vs. months. We are now far more courageous in driving ideas that have material impact on the consumer journey. We’re a “just do it” culture. Cliché? Sure. Point being- leadership has established numerous paths to encourage new ideas from any and all directions, and your colleagues will be some of the sharpest in the business. Culture-wise, we treat adults like adults. No “hours-for-hours” justification necessary for time-off or the occasional work from home. Compensation is regularly vetted against market. Amenities everywhere- snacks, food, any equipment you need is generally an email away. Shoreline location a block from [too] many lunch options on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. The office(s) layout is open-air, sophisticated. There are numerous places to dodge disruption when you really need to focus.

Cons

Negatives are the same I’d expect in any business working to bridge marketplaces. We’re “mission-driven” agile- aligning teams to tribe, and ultimately company OKRs. Incremental wins may feel less groundbreaking than end-to-end redesigns to some, with occasional tight turnarounds to deliver viable iterations to move the ball forward.

Great people, location and was an amazing place to contribute to and build a world class product

Cons

New tech leadership from CW was a mistake to bring on. Fighting amongst leadership destroyed morale.
