Work here if you are desperate for a job, leave when you've got the skills - Anonymous employee Mate1.com Employee Review

As a smaller, stable, tech company, Mate1 has been able to cultivate quite a few strengths: - Great company culture and co-workers - Lots of opportunities to grow and take on new responsibilities - Diverse technology stack and projects to work on - Great location - Generous benefits package (including a large kitchen with free drinks/espresso machine, etc) - Very involved and understanding management. I would say if you're looking for a place to provide a challenging, diverse workload with learning opportunities and a great culture, you'd have a hard time finding a better place than Mate1.

It's a very specific industry and, as such, it's not a good fit for everyone. Smallish team can limit the amount of projects that can be built and released in a given time period.

The people, the people, the people--that's where it all starts and this company has that. It was the friendly environment that kept me there so long, even when I was less than thrilled with the work itself. The office is really nice and conveniently located. It was also pet friendly when I was there as well.

I guess after a while it is easy to become disenchanted with the work. Online dating is a challenging field to stay really competitive in. Clients were unsatisfied more often than not.
