Pros

1. Intelligent and motivated team. 2) Fast pace environment with a fast growing company 3) Decent pay with generous vacation allotment

Cons

1) Shift in the Seattle office is 15:00-23:00 so having a social life or relationship is challenging. 2) Poor work/life balance. It is nearly impossible to do your job without coming in early, skipping breaks and attending several pre-work conference calls per week, not to mention working on extra projects on personal time. 3) The work is relentless, intense and filled with violent and disturbing content. 4) The burnout rate is quite high. It seems as though everyone quits after a year or two.
