Pros

Get exposure to most of the best practices and trends within e-commerce. Good compensation and fun work environment in growing company that offers many opportunities.

Cons

Growth of the company has exceeded the skills of most of its management. People management is especially poor and the company is developing a bureaucracy and "drinking the kool-aid" mentality that holds back innovation.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
