Great company culture

Pros

People, management, travel, benefits, office culture!

Cons

Lack of organization. Roles aren’t clear & bonuses aren’t solely based off your work. If someone doesn’t do their work, you lose out on a significant amount of bonus.

Pros

Travel perks, comprehensive health insurance, a youthful and energetic office culture, and solid opportunities for early career development. Great mission.

Cons

Once you've gained early career development, opportunities for upward mobility are extremely limited unless someone else leaves. There are no clearly defined career paths. Lateral moves can happen, but you'll need to advocate strongly for yourself. Don’t expect proactive support from management or colleagues related to pay or career growth. Job security is low- Layoffs can happen at any time regardless of tenure. Very limited opportunities to advocate for more pay.
