Such a disappointing venture for me.

Pros

Flexible scheduling is a decent plus..catered lunch is cool too. There is also "unlimited vacation" (and if you try to use it, they guilt you into taking less time off) as well as booze in the office (because lord knows you will need it). Some people work from home, which I imagine is really great because they make their own hours to a degree and don't deal with as much politics. If you can snag a job that is a telecommute one, maybe it's worth it.

Cons

Long days and longer nights. You are expected to be best friends with everyone you work with and schmooze with them at least once a week after work. If you don't drink, you will definitely be called out for it. They claim to be doing well, but I have noticed a lot of gossip about layoffs, pay cuts, etc. The sense of "work life balance" seems to not really exist here.. but some people love that here. The politics are INSANE - if you even mutter that you don't get along with someone, you are fired without notice. I am terrified of losing my job because I really need it to support my family, so I try to play the game. I work about 100 hours a week here typically, and if it's slow, about 65.

Pros

The people I worked with in the office were really nice.

Cons

There aren't much training provided to new employees, you would need to learn the platform on your own and be expected to be an expert really quickly. On boarding clients were hard to figure out since there were no training of what is needed during the onboard process.

Underwhelming

Pros

There is some good energy here but also a lot of negativity, probably due to extreme growth spurts - tripling headcount and adding $30MM of VC money can screw with people's heads. Free lunch is nice, booze is nice, ping pong, office location...

Cons

Technology is not all it's cracked up to be and often clumsy; next big feature is always a quarter away. Yes, some of the stuff is real time, but a surprising amount of things are not. If you're not part of the in-crowd and drink the kool-aid, you'll have a tough time, and it will impede your path upwards.
