      Pros

      Ambitious Yet Achievable Goals Strong focus on Doing What is Right for the Customer over any other secondary considerations. Work-Life Balance (my building is a ghost town at 8pm)

      Cons

      Lip service to wanting outside influence to better processes. In reality they want someone to tell them their already doing it right. So quickly adapt and they will think your amazing.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
