Pros: The projects are challenging The people No red-tape Generally, the best ideas make it through

Cons: Sometimes there isn't clarity on product direction. Building could be nicer :)

Pros: The company has excellent benefits and flexibility when scheduling pto. Employee culture is great. Managers are very personable, and there's a lot of perks (flight/hotel rewards, catered lunch at office, free food and drink, surprise gifts for employees). Not to mention the amount of overtime you can acquire while being out in the field.

Cons: Work life balance is not always the best. Most of the time you're gone on a job longer than expected. Sometimes there are back to back jobs which require you to be gone for up to 2 weeks straight. Busy season requires a lot of traveling/being gone from home. Pay is sub par for the type of work that is being performed as an operator. And proper training/time spent with newer employees is lacking.

Pros: Gecko cares deeply about the mission and it manifests into an organization that organically creates passion. Also, The Great GeckTogether was awesome!!

Cons: I would like more opportunities to get out to the field.
