      Best Work Experience of my Career

      Dealer relations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I absolutely love coming to work. The benefits and culture are fantastic, but the work itself is also very empowering. I am able to attack my job in a way that makes sense for me, and am rewarded for delivering results to the business. My department's management team is fantastic - very transparent, a great balance between demanding results and creating a fun work environment, and everyone on my team feels valued and knows their voice is heard. My career path has been discussed at length with the department head, and I know how I can move up and what I need to do to make that happen.

      Cons

      Very little on the negative side, only suggestion would be the Executive team to be a little more visible to everyone else in the business.

      Dealer Relations Account Manager

      Dealer relations account manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work environment all around. Fast growing company with tons of upward mobility. Sales can be very lucrative. Free lunch 5x per week, stock options, game room, beer on tap.

      Cons

      Pay plan changes quite a bit. The company is growing so fast that they typically operate out of multiple buildings, which makes direct communication difficult.

      Best place I've ever worked.

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Perks are pretty well-covered in other reviews. Most importantly to me, I have a lot of autonomy, and I'm working on interesting projects that really affect the company's success. If I want to make an improvement or add a feature, all management cares about is that it improves the site. If you can prove that, you can push what you want to production. Turnover rate is probably among the lowest of any mid-sized engineering team in the region. Not necessarily a pro, but in my opinion the most important metric regarding quality of life. The hiring process is extremely selective. Some real rock stars work here. And they're all awesome to work with. Finally, the company seems to radiate success. It's just fun to work for a place that's going big.

      Cons

      Any developer who needs structure will struggle here. But for good developers that's usually not a problem. As the company has grown, it's taken on some more structured policies. Definitely successful-company problems, but as much as management is trying to keep the startup feel, we're heading in a more corporate direction.
