Pros

Your coworkers are smart, talented, and engaged. The company is small; culture is actively managed. Benefits are many and well thought out - great health coverage, commuter benefits, stock options, free lunch 4x week, regular events and outings. Location is great - lots to do in the neighborhood. The problems you're solving for are new and challenging. There's a lot of freedom for experimentation and plenty of room to grow. The young market is growing.

Cons

The company skews young and it shows. Euclid is many people's first or second startup, or job. Young management makes some rookie moves. The big personalities (decision makers) listen best to other big personalities. There is a cultural schism - one side comes from finance and works like it, the other side comes from tech and works like it. The difference leads to trust issues, communication breakdowns across teams, and turnover in some (many) cases. Clear strategy and appropriate goaling would make a huge difference. Not really a con, but the market for the space is changing rapidly. Euclid changes to adapt, but not everyone is on board or even sees why. The real downside is the company suffers from a lack of a clear vision; no one is moving in the same direction in the first place, and when the company needs to change direction, it's harder than it needs to be.

Pros

Been here about 6 months. Can't say enough about the experience I have had here thus far. My manager has been open and honest with me about my performance, given me the opportunity to be successful and push the boundaries of my competency, and given me helpful constructive feedback along the way. Regardless of how things go here (and I believe they will go well) I will be in a better place for the next step of my career. Additionally the surrounding team here are generally excited to work here everyday and have a positive attitude about the problems we are solving and tasks we are completing. We also have free catered lunch 4 days a week, fridge and pantry full of snacks, fresh fruit and beer. Hours are flexible and no one will ever question your schedule as long as you get your job done. Management has a strong vision for the short term as well as a long term view.

Cons

I work a lot, but its by choice and because I care. Its not an easy job. This machine is not moving itself. If you are not making something happen, it wont happen. If you want the big firm life where you are not held responsible for producing, this is not for you.
