      Unhealthy environment for people trying to bring change and innovation.

      Pros

      The location is convenient to mass transportation and the perks are good.

      Cons

      The culture is toxic. Especially for new people joining. The HR team is the biggest road block to change and they say ‘no’ to everything we ask. They even exclude new people on their own team from contributing. It’s ‘our way’ or get out. They hire to hire but don’t want new ideas. They just want to say they brought in diversity but they shut out the new hr managers with new ideas. It’s a scapegoat environment and anyone who tries to improve the environment is viewed as a problem.

      Pros

      Brand and integration with open table make it an unique company. Theres always changes on the site, a/b testings and teams working to make it better. Innovation can be constant

      Cons

      So many things can be very wrong, old school culture, square, no coaching or guiding. But the worst part, be prepared for constant talks with layers and compliance. Internal investigations about management miss behavior became ordinary and it’s not pleasant to stop the day and have to be interrogated

      Excellent employer that promotes am ownership culture

      Pros

      Team members are given space to grow, domain over their work, no boundaries on where they can work. Everyone in the company has access to all data, source code, and tools in order to do their job as they see fit. This freedom comes with the accountability of ownership over your work. As a developer, this is a very rewarding experience. Additionally, the company invests a large number of resources into individual development, training, and team events to foster a strong team culture and to help team members achieve their full potential.

      Cons

      Those who require a lot of direction will not be successful in this company. If you expect leadership to relieve your pain points, then you'll probably be let down. The expectation of the company is that you will rise to the challenge of overcoming your own obstacles. The company operates with minimal overhead giving just barely enough resources to achieve the highest priority goals, which can be rather challenging at times.
