Business Outlook

Pros

Great office space in DTLA. Company hires internally. Plenty of room to shift or move up within the company. Great minds to collaborate with. Revolutionary company dominating media and tech spaces for pocs.

Cons

No parking. Start-up, so not as many perks as older/larger companies
