Pros

Great team members who are invested in the customer experience.

Cons

Passed up for multiple promotions. Senior leadership is very ego driven. Ruined at least 2 well-respected products by lack of product focus, and reactionary management. Pay is very low for the industry Too many cons to name I can't, in good faith, recommend this company to anyone.
