Pros

Site can be exploited for dates. User feedback often hilarious. Located near an excellent Italian restaurant. XBox available for use on thursday afternoons.

Cons

Employees are treated as replaceable automatons, in-company experience considered expendable. Employees are explicitly and implicitly disrespected by management. Enormous emphasis placed on the appearance of working over the achievement of goals. Multiple and multiplying project management solutions appear and disappear, and are never consistent with one another. Senior management members make demonstrably false claims about dating and engineering. Top-down communication virtually nil, bottom-up communication generally ignored. Critique of superiors' ideas simultaneously requested and discouraged. Physical office environment is spare, dusty, and poorly lit.

Pros

Was nice while it lasted

Cons

Team that used to work here was completely dissolved, and the application thrown out. Today the app is a thin skin over ancient, junk tech, in an effort to maximize profit for their owner, dating-app monopolist and serial privacy-violator Match Group
