Pros

I’ve been with Focal for close to 3.5 years now. The growth and self-awareness of this company is something to admire. We know what we’re good at, and work diligently to improve in areas we are lacking. The benefits are great, we’re given adequate PTO, and the equity shows great potential. Every member of the leadership team has proven themselves to be high output all the time. A very tireless team. This is the company I hope to retire from.

Cons

If you’re not intrinsically motivated and thick skinned then you will not survive at this company. Your mistakes will be brought to light, but you won’t be chastised; only expected to grow.
