Pros

Everyone is very friendly and helpful, and have gone above and beyond during my virtual onboarding experience. Really smart and driven group of people that are invested in a one team mentality and want to see everyone succeed. Still seeing heavy involvement from the C suite in everyday responsibilities that we all share.

Cons

The only downside is I do not have a home office local to my residence in LA. My position will require me to travel when the pandemic restrictions are lifted.
