Pros

Passionate coworkers - It really is for fans, by fans, and it's encouraging to work alongside people who really are genuinely excited by what we do and love the industry. Great office - big, bright, and colorful Lunch every day is awesome. Dog friendly office. Located right by public transit. Growth opps avail to those who are scrappy and really work for it

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but Ellation still operates like a startup - small teams, heavy workload. Could be seen as a con to come, but also presents opps to dig in and make an impact. Powell can be a little sketchy - it's very touristy and during conventions or over the holidays, it's pretty packed.

Pros

Great culture, tons of benefits onsite: gym, snack wall, beer on tap, diverse catered lunches and dinners, team outings, and the company is still growing and improving as best they can.

Cons

Open office environment was a bit of an adjustment for me, leads to a lot of distractions.

Pros

High growth, high energy, high productivity environment. Be ready for anything. Management thinks in terms of 10x. Regular town hall meetings in each office have become very transparent allowing all departments to more readily support each other as we rocket to our next high point. People are developed and trained. Internal promotions are looked at before external hires. Everything from Product features to business plans are open for suggestion from all employees. Every employee is encouraged to speak up and share. Working with passionate people is highly energizing but you need to bring your A game. There is the gym, the food, the cool location, and awesome office, but what's really exciting is to be able to deliver a product that fans truly love!

Cons

Food, snacks, and sugar everywhere. Dinner needs more Keto friendly options. Watch your waistline! Conference rooms are in high demand. Check in or your room will get sniped. Showers are down stairs in the bike room instead of upstairs with the gym. There is only one pool table in the game room and not enough game consoles. Game night is only once a month. I got Sennhiser instead of Bose headphones with my Macbook. The controls on the powered desks are easily bumped throwing off my ergo fengshui. Sometimes I get screen glare from being in a wide open space surrounded by so many big windows. There is only one living wall at the from of the office and none in back. Only dogs are allowed in the office and not your cats. I might be stretching to even find cons at such an amazing place to work.
