Great and transparent leadership. Excellent benefits. Competitive salary.

Pros

It's the best company culture I've ever been apart of! I've never felt more supported in my career and I get to work with the smartest people. The walk the walk and I swear it's not just kool-aid chatter.

Cons

Growing pains. Lack of clarity from marketing leadership is a huge pain point on every project. Bad management without the ability to move teams besides just leaving the company altogether.
