Pros

Open office space for most people. Free coffee, soda and teas available. Games like ping pong and pool available for after hours fun. Nice setups with standing desk and multiple monitors. Great location. Nice benefits. Co-workers across all teams are always happy to help each other.

Cons

Aggressive management that will applaud you for great work but also jump on you for the smallest mistake. What management wants constantly changed while not every change would be communicated properly if at all. Micro management is a problem that shows little respect and trust in their employees. The games that were available(pool, ping pong etc.) would be played during lunches causing a noisy distraction for others. Although pay was decent for Grand Rapids, it was below what you see across the industry. HR is tough to get a hold of.

Pros

If you love problem-solving, this is the place to be. Every day is a new puzzle centered on innovation and efficiency. That makes every day feel unique and not like you are doing the same dull tasks over and over again. There are many incredibly smart people who are also remarkably kind, making it a nice team to be a part of.

Cons

The company is in a dynamic transition phase, moving from a medium-small to a medium-large firm. If you enjoy stability and routine, the frequent pivoting might be a challenge, but for those who like to build, it’s a great time to be here. Currently, many of people are wearing multiple hats to bridge the gap. It can be demanding at times, but there is a clear sense that as we scale, we will be able to bring in additional resources for those really "nice to have" roles.
