Pros

As far as company culture they really put a lot of importance on this. It is a fast growing company and they try to stay current. Lots of perks and the food options, free stuff, great parties and social hours. They put a lot of importance on that. They try to stay very diverse as a company and relevant to social issues. My team was really wonderful and we got really close. I like the location of the office and that it was not in the heart of downtown. They also let me work remotely while I got settled in Los Angeles.

Cons

There is a lot of layoff right now so it creates the sense that there is a bit of instability. It's a company that has grown really fast so people right out of college have had the chance to get promoted quickly... that being said you have a lot of middle management that are not equipped to manage effectively and are not interested in staying in the position they are in. People move around a lot so there isn't much stability in systems in my area of work. Management seems to want to present more that be effective.

Pros

Work from home, laid back environment

Cons

The company is in the process of outsourcing 100% of the customer service dept. More than 65% of workers were laid off after being used to train the overseas team. The company has become morally corrupt and greedy. The people who built this company were let go with no prior warning and escorted out of the office as if they were criminals.
