Pros

Employees are treated very well - perks, perks! Work/life balance is more than attainable. The company mission is easy to get behind and understand. Great communication from leadership on down.

Cons

This may change, but haven't come across much in terms of cons so far. There could be better training for new hires on some of the systems/applications that are used.

Pros

Innovative fast paced culture. Encourage personal growth and development. Great opportunities to do amazing things at massive scale. Generally an awesome place to work

Cons

Some risk of culture dilution in remote offices that importing departments wholesale form other organizations. as with many companies growing at this rate, occasionally hear that "things aren't as awesome as they used to be"
