      Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel this way. One of our recruiting philosophies is to do our due diligence with anyone we hire. We evaluate each candidate thoroughly. Each candidate meets 4 or more Brick-sters and we require references from every candidate we extend an offer to. Being the start-up that we are, we understand our process is not bullet proof and we can get better. Unfortunately, we're going to have some misses as we develop and grow as a company. We will learn from our mistakes and do our best to not duplicate them.

      Pros

      The intellectual horse power here is through the roof. We have the smartest and brightest talent in the Valley building a best-of-breed platform that is solving complex big data problems. No one comes in with an ego, no matter how successful they are. People are collaborative and everyone is eager to figure things out. Everyone shares the same passion and excitement to make this an awesome company.

      Cons

      There is a lot of work to get done, which to me is the fun part!
