Flatbook- Awesome company, Unmatched Opportunities

Anonymous employee

Pros

It is very evident that the people who work here really care about what they are doing. This company is growing quickly and you can grow very quickly with it. There are many challenges and you will continually be pushed to do better. The experience you gain here and the responsibilities given are unlike any other firm i've been with so far. It's great to see that the top people in the company have enough confidence in their staff to assign them with difficult and engaging tasks.

Cons

People here work very hard. We're open 24/7 365. This may not be for everyone, some people may burn out if they dont know how to pace themselves properly.

It's not for everyone, but those who are passionate and ambitious are in their element - no cons for me.

Pros

Amazing colleagues, recognition, fulfilling work, healthy environment, tons of encouragement, despite the fact that the organization is growing it still feels like a family. Positive attitudes all around. Awesome culture -- You feel like a better person just being there. It's a start-up, so obviously there's a lot to be done but everyone is ready to do just that.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any. I think that people either fit in perfectly or they don't, and it might be hard for those who don't.
