Pluspunten

- the enormous amount of SEO traffic they get from essentially using another sites' product catalog and attaching a bunch of user generated content to it - the pay is ok

Minpunten

I have worked at many startups in the Bay Area, and the months I spent here were the worst. The company is the kind of place where people are fired on Christmas so they don't have to pay for the extra week before the New Year. You will be promised the 30 million monthly uniques and the endless opportunities during the interviews, but you are essentially there to do whatever the CEO tells you to do. The Steve Jobs complex only works when its Steve Jobs... I would stay away from this company if you value your self-esteem and sanity. You will start to avoid looking at your emails over the weekend because there is at least one the CEO sent you over the weekend that will ruin it for you. Having worked at other hard-working and fast paced startups, the culture at this company is not normal nor productive, and its time the VCs do something about it. No possible exit strategy exists since a Yahoo! or Google would never buy such a dysfunctional group of people.

Pluspunten

You will form strong bonds with the people you work with as you search for sanity. Plenty of space in the office since barely anyone makes it over a year. Become friends with the mannequins as soon as you can as they are the only "employees" who will still be there when you leave or get fired.

Minpunten

At your interview, you will be promised the world and complete freedom to succeed. You will soon find out this is not true at all. Simply ask any employee who has been here over a year (good luck finding any management who is still there over a year). All of the one star reviews here are from actual employees who worked there. The 5 star reviews are from management, offsite contractors or people who have worked at Fixya for less than 6 months. There are very few employees whom make it past the 1 year mark. I wish I had never worked here. I personally watched 12+ people leave in 6 months. Some quit with 2 week notices, some got fired during the holidays, and some just got up and left and never came back...seriously. I never seen this at any Bay Area company. There is no trust and in the end your skills and talents will be wasted. You will find yourself questioning your own abilities and you will leave here feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. I found it funny that the dishwasher leaked in the kitchen everyday.
