      Don't Do It

      Pros

      Cool office with free food, lunches and some company gatherings.

      Cons

      If you are a software engineer or product manager then avoid. - The most immature engineering & product organization I've worked for. - They don't care about quality software design on any level. - A vast majority of design decisions are just one off hacks. - Product managers are really just glorified project managers. - This place is swimming in technical debt and they don't care. I heard several times when enquiring about doing things with a minimal level of professional quality. "we don't work like that here" and "we are successful in spite of ourselves". Not kidding those are actual quotes from a VP.
