Awesome Company. Love it.
Pros: * HR is very sensitive and responsive to employee needs (you go, Kate!)
* Fast pace and exciting industry
* Awesome leadership and great people
* Great company culture with integrity and ethics (great thing for all the consumers!)
* The company genuinely cares about its employees and shows it through various company-wide initiatives
* I've never worked at a company where the morale is as high as it is here
* Almost everything is very transparent from C-level down to the troops in the trenches
* Plenty of opportunity for growth if you want to own up to it
* Hard work comes with rewards; company is not shy to reward high achievers
* Great compensation and awesome benefits
Cons: * Workload can be overwhelming at times
* The complexity of the system and business logic takes sometime to onramp (but it is worth it; what BlueKai does is the future of data)
* Product-driven culture; lack of engineering-driven culture takes getting used to. But it helps that people in Product generally know what they are doing
* Product wants visible releases which, at times, come at the expense of software stability and test coverage; luckily this culture is changing with engineering pushbacks
