Pros

Amazing company values and mission, our CEO is working right alongside us, passionate and realistic, pushing and inspiring. Room for growth, trial and error, and career pathing. Free catered lunches every Monday and for events. Stocked kitchen. Working from home days. PTO. Education/experience fund. Commuter benefits and lyft safety rides. Lack of stagnancy— if it’s not working, we fix it- we reassess. Creative minds, passionate employees. Strong HR team that actively builds and plans events and team building.

Cons

Multiple meetings can be tiresome and redundant, and it seems as though we are working on that. Office location and space, lack of conference rooms. We are growing and might want to visit the idea of moving to the financial district.

Pros

The team here is amazing. Everyone is smart, hard-working and fun. There is a big focus on culture and people. Lots of opportunity for growth and learning. Strong leadership team and CEO.

Cons

Not a 9-5 job. While there IS a total respect for work life balance here, you work really hard. Don't apply if you are not willing to put in extra hours when needed.

Madison Reed Response
