Pros
- passionate group of people who care deeply about the mission of helping people find love - lots of empowerment and autonomy. My team and I set our goals based on the company mission and vision. Its up to us to figure out how best to make that a reality. I am trusted to be an expert in my field and appreciate the ability to do what I do best without micromanagement. - insane assortment of snacks. I did not know there were this many types of snack foods. no joke. - really smart group of people. there is a very high bar to work at OkCupid, which keeps things really intellectually stimulating. - small team where everyone knows each other on a first name basis and gets along well. we are too small to have office politics. we all have to work together to get stuff done. - we have tons of company events and parties like lobster cruise around NYC or bowling nights or beer tasting events. - comp is competitive and promotions and career development are important to leadership. - free lunch. we have it catered 3 days a week and also have a budget to order our own food from seamless. Very cool. - diverse and inclusive. we have people from all types of backgrounds and orientations. - great perks including being able to expense your personal dates! - very few meetings.
Cons
- My commute is a bit rough coming into the city. - we use slack a lot to communicate. this is great for efficiency, but can be distracting. I prefer to speak with my team in person.
