Business Outlook

Pros

- great mission - people are always happy to help - room to experiment - we’re moving fast - dealing with Covid was another good example of how the leadership team takes care of our people - being part of an internationally growing company

Cons

Challenges might be the global expansion and the odd hours for calls. Or the fast amount of product enhancements and the lack of resources to get them all done.
