      Pros

      - Great visa sponsorship program (cap-exempt so no need to go through H1B lottery + great Green Card processing support) - Great mentorship - Flexible working hours - Easy PTO approvals - Frequent salary increases - Great professional development support - Non-toxic environment to work in (highly supportive managers)

      Cons

      - Lowballing initial salary offers (but do negotiate!) - Company culture inconsistent in different offices (DC and LA office all the way!) - Top management can be out of touch and insensitive to employee needs
