Cons

Only one I feel exists. For video game nerds, working here sometimes feels like playing Dark Souls: you need to git gud. Basically, there's a lot to learn, and the company is very much about employees figuring out problems and coming up with solutions themselves (Doing More With Less). You will suffer and struggle, but you'll be better for it when you do succeed. It's all to prepare you to be a problem solver, no matter your position. If you've ever struggled with managing your time or prioritizing tasks, this place will quickly whip you into shape. Because of this, it sometimes feels like management is too hands-off, but they are more than willing to answer questions or help you out.

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
