Pros

Full day of orientation, which gives insightful details of great benefits, teams, their vision and so much more. The office space is very spacious, not far from metra or train station and has free candy of course! The building itself is amazing because it's a historic building. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and they allow you to work in a hybrid environment!

Pros

Interview process took about a month. HR, the hiring manager, and IT members were very informative and welcoming during the phone and Zoom interviews. The first day was a full-day orientation to learn more about the company, tour the office (Old Post Office location), and meet your team. Kitchens are always stocked and free to everyone. Great atmosphere and beautiful office space/building.

Cons

No cons so far in week 2 of working here.
