So fun to work with so many startups. Great benefits $$ (wellness, work from home, professional development, etc.). AIT (my program's team, not central) team is great. Small but mighty!

Cons

Techstars is extremely chaotic to work for, but I knew what I was getting into. The pay isn't great for the location, but they offer up to 10% bonuses based on performance.
