Pros

Great healthcare benefits, fun place to work, schedule flexibility, (with the right manager). Pay is competitive with market rates. Paid time off is one of the best in the area.

Cons

Very unfair advancement opportunities. If you do not have or have not established a personal relationship with a member of management or executive team, do not expect to be advanced. These opportunities are only granted to friends and family while management forces its employees to believe it is their sole responsibility to map out their career. However, it has been proven time and time again: An employees career path is well established prior to the employees presenting their career desires.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
