      Pros

      Lots of very talented, smart, and driven people. You're challenged to expand your skill set.

      Cons

      Echoing what others have said, absolutely no work life balance. It's a pressure cooker. Burnout is rampant.

      We understand and acknowledge that the pace in which we operate can be fast and demanding. The industry as a whole works at an accelerated rate and we are striving to keep up with the demand for our expertise. We often describe ourselves as a “rocket ship” and we function as just that, but the payoff can be great with our top performers being promoted quickly and all of our staff learning from this tremendous growth we are experiencing. Training has increasingly become a top priority for the company as a whole. We recently established a working group to develop training programs and just completed our first “classroom style” training course for employees at all levels. Additional new hire training is soon to be launched.

      Pros

      Fairly decent work/life balance Good compensation, benefits Good coworkers who care about each other

      Cons

      Recent layoffs are giving the impression of a very volatile environment Lack of support for good UX/UI practices, execution Lack of communication between different product teams, duplicative efforts happening when they don't need to No real vision for products moving forward
