Pros

Amazing Development team. Truly enjoyed my experience working for the best team ever.

Cons

Leadership lacked vision. Not one person from a leadership role ever worked in a technology company. They lacked understanding of sprints and dev planning. The primary experience they were drawing from was an Ad Agency world... They have little understanding of writing requirements for engineering.

Pros

* Plenty of room for those seeking to exercise creativity at all levels. From programming to business practices, improvements are thought and tested everyday. * Collaborative with fast paced results oriented environment; most meetings end with clear actionable items, people do come to consensus * Benefits: unique and unlike anywhere else (Free Food Fridays!, unlimited vacation days, some work from home), ties and starched shirts/pants optional with low lighting (programmer's paradise), everyone is friendly and supportive

Cons

* Due to the young age of the company, those seeking a more established hierarchical environment would probably want to seek elsewhere * Many business processes are still being developed and tested so onboarding may be rough at first but patience can reward the right individual

Cons

Traditional start up challenges Employees required to bring their own workstations Lack of rapid customer adoption and commitment Challenged product direction and execution (improved in 2016)
