Business Outlook

Pros

Great team that works well together, flexible work/life balance despite working off a queue, insane benefits like fully paid medical, lunches, snacks, fitness classes, gyms, in-office activities every month that span plant making to learning about meditation. I honestly look forward to going to work every day because of the great people, benefits, and office.

Cons

The primary job functions working off of a queue can be seen as little bit mundane, but we really are helping customers and that in itself can be fulfilling. Also, depending on your location, commute logistics can be complicated, as parking is expensive and there is a waitlist. If you can bike or do public transportation, then you're good to go.
