You'll love going to work every day

Pros

-Incredible co-workers: smart, engaged, fun, passionate. -This company lives their core values every day. When they say you have "freedom" they mean it: no set vacation days, everyone keeps their own hours. But it's also freedom to be creative, to attack problems in new ways.

Cons

-Like any start up, there's always more to do than there are hours in the day. If you are easily overwhelmed or looking for a job where you clock in at 9 and clock out at 5, this is probably not the company for you.

Great Leadership, Amazing Opportunities

Pros

- Great culture. We leave and breathe our values, it's not just talk. - The co-founders are very open to new ideas, they give everyone the freedom to do their jobs well. - Everyone is SO NICE. It's a very positive workplace and very inclusive. It's like a big friendly family, without the drama. - Challenging work. Everything is fast-paced and it's thrilling. You won't dread going to work on Mondays, you'll be excited. - A or A+ co-workers. No one is a dead weight. - Freedom is one of the core values and we are really given amazing leeway. We can do our own hours and attain objectives however we choose to. There is no micro-management. - The co-founders and everyone else will value your work and will value you as a co-worker. Everyone knows everyone's name. The CEO will have lunch with you randomly or challenge you to a game of ping-pong. - Company growth is exploding so there are lots of opportunities. Nothing is static, so if you're motivated and willing to work hard, you can create your own dream job. - It feels pretty awesome to be part of a winning team. The company is doing really well and it's thrilling to be part of it.

Cons

- Until the company grows, the salaries are competitive but nothing more. - Expect to work some weekends, evenings, etc. Everyone works hard.
