Great Company, Leadership, and Mission

Pros

Great work environment. Remote with the option of great offices if you want (Lunch catered on mondays!) Top Tier colleauges (Seriously, some of the most impressive people you will ever meet) A sincere and genuine mission to provide the right information to the right people at the right time, with the ambition of making the world a safer place.

Cons

Lots of work to do with increasingly tighter deadlines, which is only a con because sometimes it may be just you doing the work that would otherwise be broken up among a team. But I suppose you can just chalk that up to very high standards regarding the quality of the employees. Outside of my current role, I'm not sure where I stand to grow here. But for now, its more than fulfilling.
