Pros

Free lunch, uber credit every month

Cons

1. communication cost is high 2. project domain by PM not engineers 3. laid off would not stop 4. mobile architect far away from market 5. very slow development pace, because of #1 and engineering department generate too many rules for engineer to flow, which significantly delay the product and individual improvement. 6. no culture, people in same office just come and work and then left. Too busy to deal with the #1 issues.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
