Pros

• Forward thinking business philosophy. • Great people. • Autonomy to accomplish tasks. • Benefits and office perks are great. • Company doesn't coddle the engineering team, unlike many Bay Area employers.

Cons

• Recent churn in engineering. Company is transitioning a large portion of its engineering team to a recently acquired operation in Moldova. • Layoffs could have been handled better - they were presented as purely a redundancy issue - in fact, quite a few were for performance and culture issues. Witness many of the complaints on this site. No one likes to be told weren't good at their job, or that they stirred the pot too often.
