Pros

Great benefits and compensation package. Good location, perks, free breakfast, company events, good wellness program. Friendly people, onsite yoga and bootcamp

Cons

You have to be a self disciplined individual, ability to work in a fast pasted environment. The job can be quite administrative at times as the company operates with minimal resources. Great opportunity for challenge, however
