Business Outlook

Pros

They pay well, the people you work with are smart and very nice

Cons

Leadership across the board is viewed as inept. While most of the actual workers are plenty capable, poor planning and lack of vision plague this place. Leading by fear is a common phrase throughout the company.

Great place to work if you don't care about work life balance

Pros

Some really smart and dedicated people

Cons

Per our CEO, this place is a passion project for most of us, and you need to be willing to put in late night and weekends with no incentive to do so.
