Pros

A great place to work for software engineers. A good work and life balance. Engineers have close relationship with the product team and have chances to give them feedback on the user experience. A great office looking over AT&T ballpark and the downtown. A lot of perks, a good life and work balance, family oriented culture

Cons

Hiring standards vary from team to team. More standardized approach is needed to keep the high bars

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
