Business outlook

Pros

Cute dogs, seemed like a fun culture

Cons

Management was very sporadic in interview. I was offered the job via an Indeed message that I did not see because I was out of town and not actively checking Indeed for a weekend. I received no actual offer letter, e-mail or phone call and I got back to them a couple days later via Indeed and they ghosted me. Never heard another word.
