Pros

This is by far the best company I've ever worked for -- and I've worked at quite a lot of places! The pros really are too many to list, but I'll try -- everything from awesome and talented colleagues, challenging technical problems, cutting edge tech stack and freedom to tinker, weekly talks and random events, the amazing office on the Hudson river, to the free snacks and coffee. The executives are also unusually easy to access -- the CEO, Marc Lore, who is now also the head of eCommerce at Walmart, is just a dude in jeans who mostly just hangs around the (open plan) office next to everyone else. I wish my personal situation could have allowed me to stay on for longer. Really miss this place.

Cons

There have been quite a few management shuffles since the acquisition. Although none of it has affected me or my team personally, I feel like the transparency around strategy and acquisition could be improved.

Thanks for the killer review. The fact that you point out our executives are easy to access is awesome, this has been a goal from day one for us. We wanted to build a company on transparency and this was a major focus point. I know management shuffles can be tricky to get through, it's part of growing pains with moving from start up to large corporation. John T., SVP Engineering

Pros

The culture was awesome, with one rule (Be Nice) I loved Jet. We kicked some major #$^^ so much so that Walmart bought us and killed us. We had fun, it was like working at an all night rave music and dancing while we worked. hard to describe, you had to be there.

Cons

the pay wasn't the best but the benefits more than made up for it. The insurance was fantastic, the fun we had at work was enough to make up for the lack of pay.
