Pros

-- employees are kind and collaborative -- culture starts at top and permeates down -- hiring done well - colleagues are all very sharp

Cons

-- well-funded company, but not mature (lots to figure out, processes to iron, advancement is difficult). However, I feel that most employees stay because they have faith this team can lead the company to maturity and further success

Pros

Able to grow from within the company. A lot of autonomy so your ambition isn't limited. Amazing benefits and flexibility for working remotely, sick days, etc. Incredible focus on a collaborative culture, allowing us to build comrarderie instead of fostering a sense of competition.

Cons

Extremely fast-paced, at times not allowing time to fix existing processes, making them outdated and inefficient. Lack of middle-management in the past has resulted in disparity among workload and pay. Organizational restructuring has recently improved this.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have been in the workforce for over 30 years and I have never experienced such an amazing company with an amazing mission. It's not just lip service, this company treats its employees and clients like royalty. Things definitely move fast but they also provide lots of training and consistently check in to make sure everyone is still onboard. I am so pleased with my experience.

Cons

Can't think of anything
