Pros

Highly talent people to learn from, fast paced, open & flexible environment, transparency, teamwork. These people are smart AND kind, its amazing. Love coming to work, really feel like my role matters within the organization.

Cons

Open areas and sales environment can sometimes lead to noisy spaces, but with wireless headsets its easy to move away to continue your call in quiet if necessary. Same with Ping Pong, minor ping pong addictions are real.

Pros

The company thrives on true collaboration and making a positive difference in others lives. It is a culture that celebrates excellence and nurtures success. Leadership is transparent and open, and inspires to achieve rather than manage to a metric. Work days fly by when you are passionate about what you do, when you have products and services that are incredibly impactful, and people around you who are so thoughtful and inspiring.

Cons

That I didn't join the company 10 years ago!
