Pros

The first time I visited the office for my onsite interview I immediately picked up on the positive energy and it was a huge reason I chose this company. After two weeks I couldn't be happier with how things are going. The people are really smart, managers are open to feedback and constantly improving processes, and the culture is extremely welcoming. Did I mention burrito day? THEY HAVE A BURRITO DAY - It's bomb. Highly recommend this place.

Cons

Honestly can't think of anything.
