      Pros

      Tons of hard interesting engineering problems here - they are working on Mesos infra (on AWS), Spark cluster. The web teams use node.js. Most of the backend stuff is in Java/Scala - play framework/node/Clojure. They have some legacy code in C# but they are moving away from it (no one is really "porting" the code), teams are building new products which is replacing old products over time.

      Cons

      None for now, enjoy working here. Scale is not as massive compared to other consumer web companies in social media or web in terms of user data or activity. But its still fun to work here.

      Pros

      * It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

      Cons

      * Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
