Pros

I've only been there a few months but this company is a wonderful breath of fresh air coming from the world of public tech companies. The interview process is VERY professional and transparent. They really choose talent carefully. New hire on boarding and training is wonderful. You spend a lot of time in classes but unlike other firms its all relevant. They actually follow the policies they train on! The people are great, very friendly and welcoming. The working environment is fabulous - great buildings, convenient location, very collaborative environment. Benefits like healthcare and retirement are some of the best I've ever seen. And they provide perks NO other company does like the summer outing. The "no WFH" policy some complain about is no where near as draconian as its made out to be in reviews. They just dont want people using recurring scheduled WFH. If you have childcare emergencies or its snowing they are totally flexible. Workload seems reasonable and people dont get pushed to deliver insane hours like other tech giants.

Cons

Starting pay is on the low side for the industry - but this is balanced out by the very convenient location, work life balance and great benefits. Cant comment on career progression yet.
