Fantastic work-life balance

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful, sunny facility with a ton of dining options (though expensive) and a good gym with free classes. Competitive salaries and a merit-based bonus system in which increases are permanent. Extremely accommodating to those with special needs - service animals and special desk configurations are regularly sighted.

Cons

The parking lot is too small to accommodate all the employees, yet they don’t have a metro stop or a bus - a major miscalculation.
