Pros

Good people They give you a lot back You feel ownership of the company

Cons

It is a work hard play hard company where you will be rewarded. But sometimes that interferes with the privet life or outside the work hours.

Pros

-DREAM TEAMS EVERYWHERE (seriously all the departments have such strong/ supportive/ inspiring teams). -Excellent onboarding and communication with management. Although the company is large, management tries to really get to know you on a more personal level. -Amazing growth opportunities, the company really wants to see you succeed and I like that they promote from within. -There are always snacks, bagels, and coffee! -Great work location and the castle (yes I said castle) is such a great work environment.

Cons

People say that work/ life balance is difficult but I really do not agree with that. A lot of other corporate jobs require you to work on weekends (take calls, write emails, constantly receiving updates), and this is not the case here. Pretty fair work hours if you ask me!
