Pros

Incredible people, amazing management team, and a vision that inspires. This is the most fun I have ever had in my career, and the hardest I've ever worked. Culture and Values are at the heart of who this company is and the experience is unique.

Cons

If you are not up for a tremendous challenge don't work here. This is a "have fun but work intensively" kind of place. It is not for the weak of constitution.
