      Pros

      Product you can be proud of. Passionate employees. Great work/life balance. Unlimited PTO. Bonus structure.

      Cons

      Management is split between Utah and San Francisco offices. Sometimes challenging to be "seen" if your boss and/or team is in a different state.

      Pros

      This company is getting it right. Pushing themselves to be better at their core business while also realizing and strengthening the position they are in to enter emerging markets. Overall the people are professional and friendly and in general there are very few egos to have to deal with. Very respectful of work/life balance and even more flexible if you are one who shows you're always on top of your work.

      Cons

      At times it feels there is a lack of focus as direction defining priorities can change with the wind. It can also be a challenge to get some areas or individuals to adjust their pace on the occasions when it is necessary.
