Driven coworkers, an intense work environment, and a culture that fosters learning
Pros
Everyone here is extremely friendly, interesting, and hardworking. Our work is interesting, our tasks our challenging, and we encourage each other to push our limits (healthily, of course). What I like most about this company is that the culture values efficiency and hard work, and it is VERY effective. The work can be a bit intense at times, but it's what I signed up for. The only issues I've had while working here so far are with our technical workflow, and when I've brought them up with managers or coworkers, I was heard and encouraged to initiate the project(s) needed to improve our development processes. The company encourages us to learn; in fact, it financially incentivizes us to take coursera courses on machine learning and security. We are pushed to research because the next improvements to make have not been discovered yet; we are on the cutting edge of our industry. Overall, this is simply the kind of place I've always wanted to work.
Cons
I don't really see the point of logging work, since it takes too much time and doesn't really make me more efficient, but our managers and execs seem to have found good uses for our logs. I'd like to learn exactly what is done with them so I can justify to myself that logging hours is necessary.
