Pros

- Above-average base salary for the Atlanta area

Cons

- Constantly fighting fires, high level of employee burnout, people regularly working nights and weekends - The company is hemorrhaging talent, a lot of the really good ones have already left, there are still some hanging around, but we'll see how long that lasts - Abysmal culture and values that encourage and reward the "work hero" (working nights and weekends), further contributing to employee burnout - Some (very lucky) employees literally get paid to just browse Reddit all day - No defined career path - Almost no 401k match

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We acknowledge the fact that there is some work to do on the areas you mention and we do not take this feedback lightly. One of the challenges of growing quickly is that sometimes working at such a rapid pace can become the standard along with frequently putting out fires. It is important that we recognize just how hard everyone is working and we will continue to evaluate the short and long-term implications of our business decisions. ~Brenda Silverman, HR Director

Pros

Flexible working space and hours. 100% remote first (though if you live in ATL, you can go into the office) if you choose. Great team dynamic.

Cons

Like any small company/startup, opportunities for advancement are somewhat limited, but even then, you can still get promoted and raises are pretty consistent.
