Pros

Cool people to work with and most are very laid back and chill-like individuals. The activities outside of work are fun!

Cons

Management has no clue what's going on and are not able to lead properly. Everyone is just running around like it's one big circus act!

As we have evolved, holding on to our start up roots is what has enabled us to remain agile, flexible, and responsive to the changing world around us. In order for our managers to trust their employees to do the right thing and provide the freedom to do the best work of their careers we have to hire the best who ALSO want to work in environment where they have those opportunities. We know that’s not a fit for everyone. We wish you the best in your next opportunity.
