Pros

Viral product sells itself. Laid back environment. Fun people. Huge profit margin on cheap China product. "Dog friendly"

Cons

Bad case of founder's syndrome here. The baseless opinions and gut feelings of the top few dominate everything here. Founder has a different infatuation with a new shiny object (new hire) every 2-3 months. In one case, the infatuation was so severe that the company opened an office is SF because that's where the prospective candidate lived! Snail's pace product development. Best employees pushed out because of incompetent supervisors. 100+ employees. 1 product. Super inefficient and only possible because the product is viral and that good fortune probably won't last for much longer. -Not actually "dog friendly" as advertised so dog owners beware. Boss's dog attacks other dogs over and over again. Nothing is done about it. Tells you something about how this place is run -- even the easiest problems to solve go on unresolved.
