Pros

The team is incredibly supportive and everyone is willing to help, schedule 1-on-1's and answer questions. There is lots to learn!

Cons

There was a lot to take in and understand in the first few days/weeks, especially on the technical side of things (e.g. internal systems and tools).

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
