Pros

Good environment for young people who maybe don't mind being underpaid for the opportunity to work with global organisation. Working from home sometime if needs be, free lunch on Thursday and beer on Friday. "Exposure" to new tech.

Cons

Not a place for long term stable career. Redundancy heigh rate (sucked around 10 people before Xmas "to keep the momentum going"). Groups of people controlling projects, getting rid of the ones standing on their way. Not really interested in your skills at all and what you have learnt from the company. "Untouchable old-timers". Lots of going on behind closed door, secrets. Lack of projects management, kids being in charge of serious staff. "We deliver" that's their motto and bunch of other socialists ideas you have to internalise for your next PDR. Shares, which I will never see in exchange for smaller salary. By the end of it they want you to sign a legal gag, you could not write a review on this site. So it turns out to be a cheap contracting rather than perm opportunity after all. Very disappointed.

Pros

Shaping a still new born tech industry Working remotely from home Some independence in what you do Travel around the world (if you're part of a particular groups that said, see below)

Cons

No management A lot of secret projects going on that very few have a clue about A lot of internal conflicts and politics due to the lack of management and nobody seems to care about it even though it's killing little by little the company. As previously mentioned here by others and I couldn't have said it better if you are part of some clique/group your opinion will be of a high value otherwise don't even try. Typically if you're not part of this clique and if you don't agree with some decisions and you say it a bit too loud be ready to pack your stuff. Brand partners (just mere salesmen) are still babies having just finished school act like they run the company. Even though it's a (4 years old) startup so instability is quite normal, firing off so many people in so many offices throughout the world at the same time even if they were competent and been here for a long time says a lot about how a company treat its members.
