Great place to work

Pros

Good office space, nice perks, generally a pleasant work environment. Excellent food & drink. Working with talented, motivated people. Plenty of opportunities for career growth & development, and movement between teams if you're interested.

Cons

While short (weekly) and medium (monthly) objectives are scheduled smoothly, the company struggles to plan and execute long term projects. Tasks that can't be accomplished in a short time frame either are kicked into the long grass, botched, or both. This applies both to engineering and commercial. Complaints about a slavish adherence to A/B testing are also fair.

The best company I've ever worked for!

Pros

Great benefits, great people, and exciting work. The management team really listens and actively solicits feedback. Efficiency is a big, and there is a lot of collaboration between teams. People are understanding and very appreciative of the value you provide. There's a lot of opportunity to do a broad range of exciting work and projects. People work smart, and there's great work-life balance to boot.

Cons

There's a lot of trial by fire, and learning by doing. I love it, though I can understand how it may not be for everyone.
