Pros

Very relaxed atmosphere, very nice co-workers, can wear jeans/casual clothing, good benefits, good institutional effort to keep employees happy, office complex (as of 2014) includes free gym with sauna. I had a great relationship with my co-workers and my supervisors. I had freedom to expand my role and take on new tasks.

Cons

My position did not have room for growth and was not my desired career field, otherwise I was very happy. I did not make a ton of money but it was my first job out of college, so that was expected.

Thank you for your feedback! We are aware that in several departments the structure is a bit flat and with long term employees there is lower turnover which can affect promotionaly opportunities, and we look forward to finding a solution in the future to that challenge. We strongly encourage not only the expansion of roles for high performers but also transfers/promotions within the company to other departments. Due to the nature of our business we tend to pay around market value but not above. As part of the compensation package we hope that the benefits and perks help to bridge the gap. Best of luck in your new career field!
