Pros

Flexible schedule, a lot of smart people working there, very cool culture. Nice location so short commute. Lots of opportunity to participate in community and social events.

Cons

Hours can be long. Intense drive to be the best so the workload can be heavy and fast paced. Pay and benefits are not that great, just average. Benefits could be better given it's a benefits technology company.
