Pros

- People here actually care, no really… this isn’t a joke they ACTUALLY CARE - So much room for growth within the company - Lots of diversity groups offered so everyone feels included and important - Generous benefits that I once thought wasn’t possible for someone like me to get fresh out of college - YOU determine how much you succeed here (put in the work and watch the magic happen)

Cons

- Currently working from home which is great except sometimes I get a random urge to hug my coworkers because they’re so heckin’ cool.
