Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of company sponsored events, happy hours, food trucks on site. Great development resources and opportunities. Full cafeterias and Collectivo coffee shops in most offices. More vacation and pto than I have had at other companies.

Cons

No bonuses, no profit sharing, no paid maternity or paternity leave, no adoption assistance, mandatory in office days and hours. There is a heavy emphasis put on extroversion. Doing your job well is not enough. It can be challenging for introverts or neurodivergent individuals to progress in their career because such heavy importance is put on socialization and networking within the company. They will also ask you to take on new roles or responsibilities for up to a year before providing any additional compensation. There is a lack of diversity in management.
