Pros

- Extremely data driven & transparent - Flat management (no micro management) - A really good work / life balance - You are expected to be self driven and interested in learning more than what your position initially requires, which is either great or really disorienting - We went through a lot in 4 years. Some of it really sucked, but it also feels like it fueled the push for transparency & fairness. Today it is completely different place than it was even 6 months ago (and for the best). That is the main reason I am still working there.

Cons

- In the past there were times when the Pros were more aspirational than real. The upside is that it became very apparent and it feels great that we have either fixed it or are working on it. - We recruited a lot of people who did not know what not being profitable / still searching for a revenue model meant, and we clearly did not do enough to be really clear on that.

Pros

- There are some wonderful people who work here, a lot of time and effort has been made to craft a loyal team who cares about stock market photo disruption. - Free lunches. - Free beer, if you're into that sort of thing. - The office space is enjoyable. - The engineering team is pretty top-notch. (It may be worth nothing that I would only come on to the team as an engineer, and then I would try and negotiate a cash heavy salary. Don't take the stock--it's likely worthless.)

Cons

- The company has had multiple (three or four in the last two years) mass firings. This isn't par for the course when you're a startup--upper management doesn't learn from their mistakes and puts livelihoods on the line. - Company isn't anywhere near profitable. - Lack of financial transparency and lack of financial oversight.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm learning from them even though it's been a couple years since you left. Sorry to hear I wasn't able to give you role you were hoping for. -Matt
