Pros

Strong emphasis on innovation and creativity — employees are encouraged to challenge the status quo.

Clear culture values (“freedom and responsibility”) that empower individual decision-making.

Competitive compensation and benefits package, among the best in the industry.

Cons

Extremely high performance bar — not everyone adapts well to the “keeper test” culture.

Fast-paced and sometimes high-pressure environment, leading to potential burnout.

Limited job security if performance expectations aren’t met.

Work-life balance can be challenging in certain roles.

Decision-making freedom can feel ambiguous without structured guidance.
