Pros

- Great engineering team. Bright and easy to work with. - Management has a great network and are competent with this kind of website. - If you have a good idea and can lobby for it, there's a good chance you can make a difference - Minimum of process and meetings. Meetings are ad hoc as a need arises. No scrum masters, standups, etc. - Great office space, perks - Business prospects continue to look good - Flexible WFH as needed

Cons

- there's a bit of technical debt in the codebase and some idiosyncratic 'organic' methods - sometimes hard to get a sense of where the whole ship is headed. moved to a single new office after being spread over three locations so hopefully communication will improve.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
