Pros

I really enjoyed my time here. They were great people, easy to talk to and had a great sense of understanding when it came to respecting balance. My department was amazing. We were a great team.

Cons

My honest opinion about this company is that towards the end I just felt it failing. Growth was stagnant and the incentives were diminishing. I wasn’t provided a raise for 3 years and I actually had a big pay cut after my first year because they couldn’t afford to keep paying me the same. I stayed because I was loyal, but silly me. It’s a shame because they could be much bigger but they just can’t seem to find a way to hash out the deeper issues here. No growth at ALL. I gave up after I knew it wasn’t gonna be anything to move up from. I just stayed because I picked up my laptop and worked from wherever I wanted. That was fun but it became old quickly and I have way more ambition than that. I still wish them luck

Pros

Fun work environment that allows you to work with cool start ups.

Cons

No real room for growth, its more about getting in good with someone in a position to promote rather than being based on performance. College company vibes,
