Pros
Good compensation and benefits.
Cons
They are more focused on the structure of the team than the growth of the actual employees. Lots of turnover and shifting, which makes it hard to build a career. Fear-based management on certain teams.

Hi - thank you for your review. As a young, fast-paced, and growing company, we lean on our employees to seek out and step up to new challenges. By nature, there's a lot of shifting that comes with this type of growth and it's important to be comfortable with the uncertainty. There's no shortage of interesting projects, and I encourage you to work with your team on finding new & bigger projects to take on if that's what you're looking for. Now is a great time to have that conversation with your manager since we're in the middle of Perf!
I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month
Cons
The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
