Pros

Casual dress Fun, although sometimes childish environment

Cons

Ops side is comprised of kids out of uni who behave like they are the next Steve Jobs and look down on sales reps Management doesn't know how to manage a sales force Employees are treated like numbers and many regional directors think nothing of firing someone HR tries very hard to make the company look cool and fun but in reality it is a ruthless business Don't get me wrong, it is a good springboard if you have little or no experience that will enable you to get a job in a proper company. But that's about it really. With share prizes crushing there is a lot of activity behind the scenes but as always there is little transparency about what is going on. Some guys are on day at their desk and gone the next. If you want a real job in real company stay away,

Pros

Salary is very negotiable, they HAVE to pay for talent because all their talent is gone Benefits are nice Quarterly trips all expenses paid to chicago New Iphone and macbooks for outside reps

Cons

Company is fighting a losing battle and constantly short changing the sales reps on their hard earned commissions. Merchants know the product doesnt work anymore. There is little to no repeat business on the merchant end.

Pros

- Fast-paced working environment - As others have shared, you learn something new most everyday (good and bad - but what you can take away from it is golden - skills and experience) - An interesting inside perspective/experience on one of the most intriguing businesses on the planet - The people you come to meet and know, or observe - The chance to enact amazing influence on millions of users on a minute basis - Can be a stepping stone to other opportunities (both within the company and outside of it)

Cons

- Power/politics hinders beneficial progressive movements (both big and small) - Still very much in a start-up environment, globally.. for a company that touts and embraces change, the movement here to more mature corporate is incredibly slow - Opportunities not there so much (maybe once in the past) - Chaotic channels of communication and disarray on information sharing/learning - goes a long way to performance - Intense and long working hours (no overtime pay or work/life balance), no flexibility
