Pros

Cappex is a company filled with great people who are all working together to achieve a worthy mission of helping students connect with colleges. There is a ton of opportunity for growth, whether it's moving into a more senior role within the same department, or even between departments. If you put in the appropriate amount of work and effort, you will see it pay off in the long run. Management is aligned with a common goal and the product has continued to improve to provide significant increases in value YoY to customers. HR never fails to come up with new and fun activities for the team, and constantly turns feedback into positive improvements to company culture. Cappex is in an excellent position and will certainly continue to grow at a significant rate.

Cons

It's a small company, so you can't get by doing the bare minimum.

Pros

They give you snacks, coffee, a Nintendo 64 and college flags are everywhere. Fridays during the summer are 8:30-1:00 and you can wear flip flops. They also sing happy birthday to you. Pretty much a millennial magnet if you're into that sort of thing.

Cons

Everything else - at least if you're on the sales team in any fashion. Sales leadership takes no interest in people and forces archaic tactics. This is why most folks don't make it 3 years despite very competitive pay and a relative easy market to sell in (for reps - not salaried support roles, salaried positions are paid 25% below avg). Worst "director" I've worked for in my 12 years of working experience, hands down (and a big reason why I'm leaving).
