Pros

Generous benefits, time off, travel ability.

Cons

There is definitely a culture of superiority, arrogance and we know something the rest of the world doesn't. What we do is not rocket science. But developers are overly valued as gods, and we forsake infrastructure, solid planning, resource management and responsible governance. It's easy to say we're successful because we have cash coming in the door, but what lies beneath the cash is actually a quite poorly managed and led company.

As a fast-growing company, we are constantly working to overcome the challenges that surround our growth. We are very sorry to hear that you feel we measure our success based on money. We have always aimed to measure success on employee performance, engagement, and culture.
