Pros

Company values employees and invests in their development (Health benefits, 3 months of work outside of your home province or country, beautiful offices etc)

Cons

At the growth stage, the company constantly improves and implements processes so be ready to adapt and grow quickly. If you would like a more slower pace environment, it is not the place for you.
