Pros

The coffee is not bad.

Cons

Expect to be overloaded with work, to the point where you need to work 70+hours a week - then get told that you are not working smart enough with no concrete examples of how you can improve. And if you get sick or have a personal commitment in the evening one day - you hear about not being a team player. Compensation is not linked to performance.

Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this review! We're transparent about the fact that we are results-driven company. This and our commitment to our customers at times requires extra effort and hours. 70 is excessive and if that is your experience, especially on a regular basis, we want to know so that we can work with you and your manager to rectify this. We highly value our employees' personal and family lives and understand that you have priorities beyond the workplace. We also make an effort to organize fun events and activities during work hours to give our employees a break and an opportunity to socialize with their coworkers. Over the past 2 years we have worked diligently to implement tools and processes that will scale with us. We are confident that tools such as Skype for Business, Atlassian and YouEarnedIt! among others will serve us as well when we grow as they do now. We hope that you'll share your concerns in detail with you manager or HR Business Partner so that we can work on resolving them. Thank you again for sharing with us here!

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
