Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, great future, It's a high tech startup, so work is demanding, but salary and benefits are great.

Cons

It's not a place to punch a clock. They're very flexible with work hours and remote work, but if your personal life demands a consistent 9-5 schedule it's best to look elsewhere.

There is no worklife balance, terrible communication from executives, unrealistic work-load, managers are VERY self-absorbed. Abusive work enviroment (I've seen 3 out of 4 admin cry at their desk or in hallway).
