Pros

FANTASTIC office culture. Amenities are top notch. Work/Life balance is very well attended (dependent on the person) Base pay is solid. Laid back culture, no babysitting, they treat you like an adult and expect you to do your job as such Managers want to have a good time at work and love to see people succeed

Cons

Relatively new territory/market. Need better universal training for present leadership and those who want to become leadership. Seems that the culture is mostly laid back which can have its own set of negative effects if left unacknowledged Not a terribly difficult job but when you are expected to know answers for several different products and you subsequently become an expert, you should be paid a higher wage. Obvious success and growth of the company should yield higher wages for those who have helped that growth (across the company, not just execs)

Pros

Great company, really great benefits, pretty much get everything you could possibly want from a company and more. Not as many perks as Google and other big tech companies, but they have all the basics. The company genuinely wants to do right by it's employees.

Cons

No nap pods :( Free catered lunches on Fridays are meh quality.
