Pros
- everything is done with A/B tests, it's very easy to implement your feature without a fear that it will break something; but it doesn't mean that if the metrics are negative, your change will be 100% rejected, that's what I love about working here, I've never heard 'it's red, so forget about it': if you can explain it, everyone is here to listen and help - really smart devs and designers, ready to help you - lots of learning, there's a dedicated learning center building: just choose any training and go for it - work/life balance: if you're often in the office after 6pm, your manager will ask you, if everything is ok - monitoring is really good: every developer can rollout the code, revert any change you consider harmful, etc.. - tolerance for errors: it's ok make a mistake, you won't be fired even if you break everything, just be smart and learn from mistakes - all devs, designers and other tech people are business aware: it's checked in interviews and everyone knows why we're doing the feature or not - career opportunities, clear instructions how to get level up and what to expect from each level - choose your next team, internal job board, you can see what's happening there before you switch - canteen is awesome, there are fresh juices and a lot of food every day, takeaway meals if you prefer to eat at your desk - competitive salary, yearly bonuses if you overperform - visa for 5 years, relocation to Amsterdam, legal, tax and housing help
Cons
- the code is worse than you might expect: imagine a 10-year old mix of javascript and perl sometimes supported by designers with differently configured editors; own syntax, defeating the purpose of any smart code editor, 'we need to think more if we really need ES6 ...in 2017' - that's really what it is: no code style, no tests, no reviews, not working code quality tools, huge css full of !importants - frequent rotations and structural team changes: if you ask somebody how it works, the response most likely will be: I don't know, I'm new here, let me check it for you - I don't know, everything else is perfect; if such code doesn't offend you - it's the best place to work
