Pros

Great people, young team, nice variety of work. The office is awesome: we have beer and wine on tap and Barrel provides lunch every day. It's a great team to work with and grow with, and the management is very open and encouraging towards building your skill set and setting goals for your time at the company. Also, did I mentioned Bourbon Fridays?

Cons

I don't feel like I have any *real* cons. Some small process stuff. Since we're a young team we sometimes run into issues that a more experienced team would handle better. But that's a pro isn't it: learning from mistakes! No better place to do that than here.

Pros

- Amazing reputation in the Shopify ecosystem for an agency - Challenging work that forces you to adapt/learn constantly. Never a dull moment! -Good comp, amazing benefits [half day Fridays year round, home office set-up, professional development stipend, solid health insurance, etc..] - Opportunity to make real changes inside the company if your idea is solid - Unparalleled place for personal/professional growth. Lots of responsibility placed on each employee & a lot expected- but also a focus by leadership on the growth of each employee - Unlimited growth potential if you have areas you're interested in across design, Shopify, technical, sales, marketing, etc..

Cons

- Consistent moments of high stress & pressing timelines. Have to be prepared to handle multiple priority items at the same time over a long period of time
