Business Outlook

Pros

Big vision, open minded, treats employees well and transparent with communication. This company is going places. Benefits are good, some employee perks and average 401k match. Unlimited paid time off but must be reasonable. They have dealt with COVID remarkable well.

Cons

Jobs details not fully defined as company is growing, everything has to be done from scratch and growing pains. if you rely on others to get work done or processes to be in place, this is not the place for you. Remember this is a startup and there is no shortage of work. If you want work-life balance, 40 hour weeks and be given assignments on the regular, look elsewhere. If you like building something from the ground up, are hands-on and believe in companies values, its worth applying.
