Pros

- Little to no actual work is required of you - Beer every where to numb your sorrows - Plenty of outings and trips and excursions to make you forget that you don't really matter - Unlimited sick days!! You still need to be "working" from home but yeah! You can call in sick at any time!!

Cons

- the buffoonery starts from the top down - the product (non) road map changes every day - expect to be interrupted with something urgent that needs to be done right now only to have it ignored after you completed it - career ladder is clearly defined and often repeated but has its rungs thoroughly greased with a giant ape throwing barrels at you - the management is considered a joke by the entire senior engineering team - the department has no real foresight or plan - the entire engineering team, especially the ones that's been there the longest is just waiting to cash in their options and leave - you are give 3 weeks of time off but are heavily suggested to take those weeks during the company designated weeks which effectively only gives you one week off

Pros

Free coffee, free wifi, nice bathrooms

Cons

I worked in headquarters on a team that was Very disorganized. After 3 months I still was not given a desk. Person who hired me was a liar and had now clue what they were doing, a middle manager from an old style of working. Surprising to be micromanaged at a "start up" like this who one of many motto's were "get &$#@ done". I was unable to get hardly anything done as I was slowed down by micromanagement and clueless people I was forced to work with, they were unable to do anything out of fear.

Pros

Great idea. Poor execution.

Cons

Shady management. Too "rah-rah" with little substance to back the CEO's promises. Treatment of external vendors worth review.
