We're sorry it sounds like it wasn't a good fit. We recognize our environment isn't for everyone, and we're okay with that. The company has been growing at an average rate of 30% year over year and with that growth comes changes that can cause challenges for everyone. We've always operated with the mindset of hire good people and trust them to do their work, solve problems and ask questions when they have them. If you know you prefer more direction and hands-on management, this probably isn't the place for you.

Pros

Pay, benefits, and PTO are pretty nice. Good retirement options and match. In office culture can be good, but isn't always. Tech stack is really easy to use and lots of opportunity for development. Management invests heavily in juniors. Diverse income streams with high margins, with quality office spaces.

Cons

Grew too fast and hired some pretty terrible people. People who are stubborn, defensive, not collaborative, anti-social, and occasionally rude. CEO is wild. Asks for too much, can be aggressive, oddly witty, and stays private. It's like you're talking to a deity sometimes. Not enough shaming for overworking because they "preach" about work-life balance. Managers will occasionally say they worked late or a bit on the weekend, making you feel guilty that you didn't.
