Pros

The HQ is a super unique place to work, and it's great to be in the city. Most people are super supportive of one another, and you get access to new products before they are released. Progression seems to be fairly quick. Culture is a huge part of the life there and they do a lot to make it an enjoyable place to be (Waffle Wednesday's, mixers, auctions, baseball games etc.). I love that they are really proud of their history and you can see this throughout the office.

Cons

Expectations are sometimes very unrealistic from VPs and attitudes don't help matters. Sometimes higher-ups talk to you like you're dirt, and it can be really demoralizing. Vacation is only 15 days to start, which is really low and the pay could be higher considering the location. Job descriptions are not accurate and you will probably doing a job that would garner a much higher title and salary, but you are positioned as something else to avoid having to pay you more. Health benefits are ok but not fully paid for. Expect to work long hours around launch and presentation times.
