Pros

The people and culture are spot-on. Makes you feel at home.

Cons

Staffing was always an issue. Salary is lower than the market because they always said the bonuses made up for it. But the bonus is never guaranteed and puts everyone on the edge of their seat hoping they will get one, or a decent one at that.

Pros

Amazing company in all honesty. Limited offices which in turn limits flexibility. Anti-remote company. Good culture. Good work life balance. Competent management. Multiple restructures in the last 3 years. Not as innovative as other competitors. Pay and advancement was a concern of mine.

Cons

Pay is well below competitors. Lack of national offices. Old school. Lack of communication with management.
