Pros

I get to work with the smartest people I've ever worked with to build a product that I've used and loved since it first launched. And I get to help bring this great product to new markets, giving consumers and job seekers an additional choice. Here are 3 things besides the product and our mission that make me want to work harder 1) Employees are given a lot of flexibility and trust. I'm not encumbered by a lot of process. I get to write code and deploy it that day. 2) The company is very open internally. I feel like I have a very good idea of what we're doing and what our plans are. 3) Our CEO. TK might be our hardest worker. He's smart and principled and very candid at our weekly company-wide TK Q&A. It's great having a leader you really believe in

Cons

The only con I can come up with is how fast we're growing internally. I have to spend a lot of time interviewing candidates

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
