Pros

Everyday is Friday (No; swimming suit is not allowed in the office yet). The best 401k in the industry. Dream place for minorities and workhorses. Extremely transparent, approachable and humble executive management with a great sense of humor. Great perks and games. Free bottled quality water. Lots of free quality food. You are expected to be genuine and yourself. Extremely helpful and friendly human resources department. Extremely humane owner. No big wigs, no silos, no jerks.

Cons

Stay away if you are jerk or 9 to 5 kind of guy

Pros

I've been a full-time employee for about three months after converting to an FTE role, and I don't regret the decision one bit. The company culture is outstanding, and it's clear that leadership genuinely cares about the success and development of its employees. There are plenty of opportunities for learning, growth, and career advancement. The people are supportive, collaborative, and invested in helping one another succeed. It's a place where you feel valued and encouraged to do your best work.

Cons

The company has been somewhat slower than some competitors in embracing AI and driving AI-related innovation, although meaningful progress is being made. Change can also take time, particularly among more tenured employees who are accustomed to established ways of working. That said, the growing mix of experienced employees and newer talent is helping accelerate positive change and bring fresh perspectives.
