Pros

These kinds of reviews usually come across like HR hyperbole, but this place is literally the best place I've worked so far. If the company culture is defined by any one thing it's extreme competence, and it's just fantastic to work alongside people you have complete confidence in. Management is both nimble as mature startups should be while being attentive enough to make sure that the growing ranks have what they need to be set up for success. I've never seen anything like it. We've got kegs in the office, infinite snacks, weekly catered lunches, you can work from home when you need to, and there's no hard cap on vacation days per year. On paper, these are great benefits, but in reality they send a subtle signal that the company will treat you like an adult as long as you use the benefits responsibly while taking care to get your work done. This is just one of the many ways that this company places its faith in its people and it's extremely refreshing.

Cons

We haven't outgrown the current office, but at the rate we've been hiring it's a matter of time. There's also no helipad. A helipad would be pretty sweet.

Pros

You are given a lot of responsibility and resources to do your job and excel. Work closely with other departments giving you transparency across the entire company. A culture that makes you feel like you are part of family and doesn't add unnecessary stress.

Cons

Additional freedom and responsibility give way to less structure and some times non-cemented goals which may not be for everyone.

Pros

Senior leadership are hands-on with everything, beyond accessible and truly put their trust in you no matter how junior or mid-level you are. They are invested in you and care about you both in your personal life and in your career path. You have the complete autonomy to make your own decisions with your work and run with them since your first day. I have been trusted and helped since my first day knowing very little and have grown exponentially because of the trust they put in me since day one. They want to hear your input and ideas on anything in any area of the business that you do or don't work on. And my favorite part is the complete cohesiveness of the entire company. I work in marketing but I work (and sit) with people on the sales, customer service, site optimization, design and analytics teams daily and learned more in the first two months here than I did at my previous two jobs in total. Everything and everyone works together and no question or project is too big or too small for anyone to help, especially senior leadership. If you want to get your hands dirty in another area of the company, you absolutely can and will. It is a very rewarding business, job and career path with strong visions by senior leadership that aren't stopping anytime soon.

Cons

It's already getting busy & crowded in our new (amazing) office! Also, I think some outside perks could be better and more in-line with other startups/tech companies of our size (ie; gym/health monthly stipends, MTA stipends, etc). Also, lack of stock option availabilities to all employees.
