-young company and young management team -company wants employees to succeed and are willing to work with employees to manage work/life balance well -exposure to high tech products and wide variety of clients doing amazing work -flat corporate structure allowing for professional growth which can be dictated by the employee

-being in the Chicagoland area can lead to bad traffic and weather patterns making commutes awful on some days -"peak and valley" nature of business can lead to extremely stressful work/life balance over certain periods of the year, with other periods of the year very "slow" -high and demanding travel requirements at times which reflects a very demanding client base

-Cutting edge technology -Smart and ambitious young team -Rapidly growing company -Day to day work variety

-Longer commute if living in downtown Chicago
