Pros

Beautiful office space (though physical space is tight due to exponential growth) the 14th floor reminds me of Entourage it's so sleek looking. Fun events including company parties for milestones and competitions where food is served and people are happy to mingle and get to know one another Excellent benefits and work life balance- largely because the company prides itself on only hiring the very best, so there is no need for management to have to control teams' schedules The CEO is really incredible. This man knows my name! He is constantly in someones cube talking about project level work and is very invested and involved in day-to-day operations. It's also great that he has a sense of humor. Successful and stable, this is sincerely the only job I've ever had where I knew for sure that we weren't going to tank or have layoffs and its a truly relieving feeling. I know I will be here for at least 5+ years Training is pretty intense but definitely a blast. The company ensures each employee is fully educated on what we do and how we do it. In your training you are also sent to see their Minnesota office, which is fun and exciting.

Cons

Literally, we are having to be creative with space, from cubes to refrigerators we are running out of room! I think we have a new office picked out in Tyson's and I know we are moving but I am not sure when. I know it's good that we are hiring and having success but the space is a problem for sure.

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
