Beat job I've ever had - Recensione dipendente - Account Executive presso Digg

- Smart, incredibly good-natured, encouraging, and hilarious team - Modern and well-built tech stack, and willingness to try out new things where appropriate - Lightweight but effective process, and very little meetings overhead - Great ownership over your work - everyone has the opportunity to contribute to product decisions and work on features or projects you care about - Everyone happy to help each other out - Great work/life balance, flexible and informal schedule and vacation - Digg is part of Betaworks, which is an amazing community with its own culture, perks and events on top of Digg's already fantastic culture, community and perks - No brogrammers - Full of foodies! Seriously so much amazing (and often free) food passes through Digg's collective digestive system

Really can't think of much. - I guess I've witnessed a couple instances of bikeshedding since I've been here, but avoiding that completely isn't really possible - If you want a LOT of structure and very clear-cut delineation between design, frontend, backend, ops, and project management, you might feel a little lost at Digg, and you might want to go work for a huge company

I worked for someone younger than me and less experienced than me in terms of years of experience, but I learned a ton from him. He and the other employees were crazy smart, and had a great culture. I had the opportunity to meet with publishing partners to evangelize the Digg product. I was given the opportunity to evaluate a new advertising product and present to the management team.

Unfortunately at the time I was there, Digg was trying to balance the demands of their community with the demands of their investors. They were launching V4 of their product and had to focus on improving revenue while making the site more user friendly. It was a tough time for the company.
