Pros

Coworkers have a very wide variety of skillsets, interests, and backgrounds. Everybody in every department is passionate, motivated, hard-working, and skilled. Individuals can have a lot of impact, the business is doing well and is growing rapidly, and there are a ton of really interesting and complex technical problems that you wouldn't expect after a visit as a customer. Opportunities for growth abound. There is a lot of work to do. Product feels novel and pretty cool, and customers seem to love it. Exciting things are on the horizon. Tons of stuff to learn; you'll never be bored.

Cons

Extremely cliquey. Lots of in-fighting and internal politics; sometimes it feels like it can be difficult to keep track of it all and do your job without unintentionally upsetting someone. Too many "us vs them" entrenchments throughout the whole company. The amount of work and stuff to keep track of can often feel overwhelming. Everyone is putting in extra hours all the time to make this thing successful.; it's not uncommon for people to be responding to emails or submitting PRs at 3 in the morning or on weekends. The company has historically underappreciated the software team (although this has changed quite a bit at the leadership level in the past year or two). Some people in the company, especially some folks from other teams (install), are woefully underpaid for the level of effort they put in and domain knowledge they have.

Pros

1. You get to play the escape rooms for free on weekdays. 2. Lower management is amazing and will ensure that guests and staff has a great time. 3. Work at a craft bar and learn recipes and skills for upscale bartending.

Cons

1. Pay is terrible due to pooled tips with all staff for the ENTIRE DAY. The amount of work and cleaning that bartenders have to go through does not equate the BI-weekly pay. Additionally, you are not allowed to see the tip breakdown. 2. Upper management in Food and Beverage is disorganized and DOES NOT CARE about the life of their employees. This is ironic considering that the company promotes their employees to have as much of a good time as the guests. 3. They create false promises and forget that they did agreed to it. SO documenting is key if you decide to work for them. Ensure that conversations are done through the email or app. 4. Terrible hours. (No proper mids or closers) 5. The bar is not efficient ( there is only one dishwasher at the bar where guests exceed 1500 + a day).
