Pros

The product and development teams are fast and fun. The people make and develop things collaboratively, seem to enjoy what they are doing and don't complain too much. The team is made up of mostly young people, so while occasionally lacking focus or management - they are agile and generally accomplish their goals. As with most tech companies there is a lot of pressure to succeed, metrics to be hit and people's opinions occasionally clash, but it is mostly dealt with well. The perks are good, they compensate well and the office is nice. Overall it is a very comfortable place to work.

Cons

There is a very strong willed set of management and it can be hard to argue your point effectively. The teams are still small and occasionally don't have the resources or experience that I would say is necessary. This doesn't come up that often.

Pros

Houseparty is a company that loves to tackle a good challenge and isn't afraid to take (smart) risks. In my role, I've gotten the opportunity to take on countless new tasks and I truly feel like my work is having an impact on the company. Each day brings a new, different problem to solve. We collaborate and work cross-functionally across teams to take on those challenges, and we always have fun doing so. My manager supports me and affords me new responsibilities so I can continue to expand my skill set and knowledge base.

Cons

We are loud, passionate group of people and a lot of people have strong opinions. It can be challenging for more introverted people to speak up. Luckily, we have strong people managers that work with their direct reports to ensure that everyone's voices are heard.
