Pros

Work with an amazing team and work does not seem like work. Working with a talented bunch of PM's, QA and Dev makes coming to work each day, very rewarding.

Cons

Pay- Came into role from another position within the Company. I think this handicapped me with my base pay.

Pros

Everyone works hard, but it's a team effort. I never felt like people were trying to bolster their own positions at the expense of others. Lots of company events such as hackathons and worker organized clubs. You feel like you are part of a growing company without having to die for it. They are very accomodating, for example they have standing desks!

Cons

There isn't (yet!) a cafeteria - but there are snacks and lots of restaurants nearby. There really is not much to say here.
