Pros

It was nice to get free dog toys and the quarterly bonuses were good. Flexible work hours were also nice but do not make up for the fact that they pay way below market value for most of the office positions. The dogs and laid back environment is meant to entice people while hiding the fact that there are real issues with the work place culture.

Cons

Below market pay and no chance for advancement or pay increases, caddy/cliquey office employees who are obsessed with making sure they get ahead while others who are below them are ignored and left behind. Unfriendly and often off putting upper management who treat entry level people like unpaid interns

Pros

- Great team (coworkers are wonderful and feel like a family) - Dog-friendly - Nice location in Golden

Cons

- Mandatory in-office (maybe get like 1 day a month to WFH) - Work-life balance (strict 9-5 hours, you have to use PTO if you don't hit 40 hours each week) - No paid sick time (also need to use PTO or make up the time if you are out sick) - Selective about who can work remotely
