Pros

Keela Robison was a great CEO. She was smart, led by example and willing to make difficult management decision. Because the company was small, you have exposure to all the senior members of the company

Cons

IAC wasn't willing invest in the company so Urbanspoon wasn't positioned to compete with Yelp.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere Freedom to perform your job the way you see fit High salaries Full benefits Stable company backed by a billion dollar company

Cons

Constant fear of losing your job. You are forced to sign an at will contract and I have seen people fired without a reason. I was constantly watching every action of mine to ensure I never gave them a reason to let me go. It worked until they decided to get a new parent company and they just let everyone go without a reason. I have seen top performing sales reps let go because they just weren't liked that much. I have seen people forced out and let go for absolutely no reason. It's a scary place to be
