Pros

Super sharp people in a vibrant and schwank environment. New offices in the old Wamu building downtown make for great location and killer views. Working on something that matters.

Cons

It's kind of a depresssing real estate environment if you are a homeowner, and looking at my Zestimate only reminds me of it.

Hard work in a demanding environment that was disorganized but rolled out innovations regularly.

Business Outlook

Pros

I enjoyed the pace of innovation. New ad products would get rolled out frequently, there was a willingness to experiment, the developers were responsive. Since it was a start up environment, there wasn't a lot of bureaucracy or politics.

Cons

Work flow processes were not defined, there was almost never any needed technical documentation, management did little, work priorities were set by squeaky-wheel-ocracy. Lots of senseless fire-drills and working late. Overall lack of organization. Laid off 1/3 of the company when times got rough.
