Pros

-- Surrounded by smart and passionate people, E84 is a major change from my last company which was bigger, but had much less talent and passion -- 100% paid medical benefits! This cost me $300+/month at my previous job for a much worse plan, very rare these days. -- MGMT is a making a concerted effort to continually improve, they brought an outside consultant in to help with this, and it's obvious. -- Bi-weekly check-ins, I believe this was recommended by MGMT consultant, I often have nothing newsworthy to share but it's good to know the lines of comm are open -- Great tech, both hardware and software, everyone gets a new MBP and any software needed to do your job, not tied to any tech stack so can work with new hotness --Great remote work environment, office is actually closed on Thursday so everyone WFH -- Meaningful work, management won't just accept any work -- Great company culture, frequent happy hours, offsite company meetings, and other gatherings to bring everyone together. -- Career growth discussed frequently and in-depth during1-on-1's and reviews

Cons

-- Much of the work is with other contractors, agencies, the same great culture won't necessarily apply there. -- The different projects tend to be silo'd, so you may feel disconnected from other team members at times -- Taking PTO is encouraged, but with 4 weeks/year (sick leave + vacation) this is very easy to do, and it doesn't appear to grow with seniority, but I could be wrong on that part. -- Small company structure, so if you NEED a seamless onboarding and ramp-up you may get frustrated
