Pros

They pay well. The email targeting is fascinating.

Cons

There is absolutely zero work-life balance. Pressue from management is extreme, and every department is horribly understaffed. Every employee has far too many deliverables to learn anything here; You simply get plugged into a system and have to work as hard and as fast as you can. If you are the kind of person who values a life outside of work, avoid this company at all costs.

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.
