Pros
Insurance is A+. Family plan premium is roughly $50/paycheck maybe slightly less! Plus comes with a $2500 debit card to cover your deductible. Amazing. 401K - also fairly solid. 100% match up to 4%. I know some companies do you to 8%. But many offer a lot less. Vacation time is strong. (See cons as well). Flexibility in your schedule. (See cons as well). Got a doctors appointment? No problem. Need to take an afternoon for personal time? No problem! The people - everyone is pretty sharp and works hard. All in the boat together!
Cons
Pressure and work load - Lotsss of conference calls. Yes you’re able to work from home, but I swear there are multiple days a week it feels like you can NOT even get to your own kitchen for a glass of water or the bathroom!!! There were days it felt like you didn’t take more than 50 steps all day and feel so gross. - The Culture. This one is tricky. Everyone works VERY hard (see above comment), and everyone is nice to you. BUT, when every conference call starts with “omg the company is on fire. Omg what else could possibly go wrong this week. Wow it’s only Tuesday? It feels like i’ve worked an entire week already”. Man, those lines get OLD. It makes you stop and think. Is this right? Why does everyone feel like this? The worst is that just about everyone laughs it off and then dives back into their work. Rinse and repeat stressful weeks after stressful week. It shouldn’t be like that folks Vacation time - Sure you get it. But can you take it REALLY? No. Even if you go on vacation. Good luck enjoying it. You’re kind will Not be there and will be stressed out about how many emails you’ll have in your k box when you get back. That’s if you didn’t bring your work laptop with you so you’re basically working your entire vacation anyways.
