Amazing Interview and Onboarding Experience

Pros

I had a wonderful interview process where I was treated well from beginning to end. Candidate experience is so important and MR made sure to keep that in mind. My onboarding experience has equally been fantastic. I've worked at companies where you fend for yourself from day one. I'm happy to say my team came up with a schedule for my first two weeks to include important meetings, meet and greets and also some down time for me to do research on the company and to gather my notes together.

Cons

None that I can think of yet.

Pros

A fast growing company that celebrates its wins and people without the "bro-culture". If you bring good ideas and hard work there are lots of things to get involved with. Very reasonable work/life balance vs. other companies I have been at. Great benefits.

Cons

A fast growth company means constant change and pivots of objectives. You'll need to be comfortable with that to fit in a be successful .
