Fun, challenging place to work

Pros

Fast-paced, challenging work environment full of incredibly smart people. Very team-oriented and collaborative, which makes the day-to-day experience both fun and interesting. The work has real-life, tangible impact. Dedication, innovation and hard work are rewarded. Free lunches, team outings, good perks.

Cons

Some occasional growing pains due to the nature of being a startup, but if you're up for being versatile and thinking on your feet, the changes usually end up on the positive side when all is said and done.

Pros

Outstanding colleagues, meaningful work, free healthcare, free meals, TASC, and free snacks. You'd love it here if you thrive under pressure and like being challenged.

Cons

There were cons that emerged beginning of 2018 related to clear career-pathing, promotions, and time off. The leadership addressed these problems although I wish they addressed them earlier. Nevertheless, if you have been around you know many companies would not care and end up loosing everyone.

DON'T COME HERE

Pros

Free food, snacks and some nice colleagues

Cons

None. I you don't have the 'in your face' personality in order to advance within a company, don't come here. So much favoritism and bro-hood here that makes the environment toxic.
