Pros

There is lots of opportunity to advance internally and change career paths if you ever want to. Generally feel a sense of accomplishment as an owner of a team of people.

Cons

Want to advance? The statement "work life balance" will not exist. At times 15 hour days and up to 6 days a week. Not in the FC, you will be on the laptop or on the phone checking your email.

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.
