Pros

Smart people everywhere. A very collaborative environment where everyone is willing to support each other to achieve the company's goals. A higher than industry average focus on the company's goals rather than being team-centric.

Feels like entities within the company where everyone is able to operate independent of bureaucracy to operate quickly and efficiently, but also help each other out.

Company values appear to be very tangible rather than buzzwords.

Hit the ground running when I arrived. Several projects completed in the span of the first couple of months. Who needs 6 months to ramp up?! I will be excited to see what I've accomplished in a year from now at this speed!

  • Free food and snacks
  • A set number of Uber credits every month for UberEats and rides
Cons

Longer hours than average companies (hiring is quite aggressive to mitigate it).

Dinner is served late (8:15 PM).

Stocks in lieu of 401k matching.

Advice to Management

Keep moving aggressively and take care of employees better. The possibilities of where things will be soon enough are endless. This is definitely a rocketship!
