Pros

High proportion of talented, friendly people - one of the nicest places I've worked, though has been trending worse over the past year Generally good engineering culture Usually people-focused culture

Cons

The executive leadership team has run out of ideas and things have become more and more chaotic. In Engineering, there's no clear direction or communication from the top level of leadership. The product itself is at risk as the brand is compromised by drop-shipping and fraud but the leadership team won't/can't take hard decisions.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
