Pros

Unusually customer obsessed. Most new employees get an onboarding plan to slowly ramp up into the role hired for. Which in my case was 3+ months. This was amazing. Every employee has a chance to create the next big thing in a safe space. My team works in an independent setting and collaborates as necessary.

Cons

Can feel overwhelming at the beginning but know that you are meant to be here if you get in. This will affect work life balance

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
