Pros

Interesting technical problems. Lots of potential for personal growth. Good natured and intelligent people.

Cons

Poor management focus. Constant quarterly lay-offs of valuable technical personnel with no plans to replace the software they were responsible for. Very unstable even for long-term seniors despite positive long-term funding displays being made in company-wide meetings. Priorities constantly shifting with no real goals for measurable progress. Have never seen a person come back from parental leave, or even be able to take it before being let go once public about it. Would heavily caution anyone expecting to start a family while working here to look elsewhere.

Pros

- Bright, talented, wonderful people to work with. Everyone is truly united by the mission. - Small teams means you get to participate in a whole range of design activities - A good place to learn, with a culture for learning - The mission is truly unique and exciting, the products are generally exciting and impactful to work on

Cons

- Design culture is relatively hard to work with compared to other design driven tech companies, the company had other priorities - would not say that it's a design centered company - Smaller teams mean you get limited mentorship - Fewer career growth opportunities due to small teams and limited resources
