Pros

Great startup that is growing quickly.

Cons

Due to being a startup, there is no 401k match and stock grants which cannot be fully accessed for four years are given as bonuses and raises instead of cash.

Pros

Management is reasonable. That is key. The folks I work with want to see me succeed. Pay is great. Company culture is fun, young, and energized. Benefits are AMAZING. You are never expected to work more than 40 hours - unless you need to meet a deadline, which you'll be doing at any job. (VERY VERY RARE) Unlimited time off for salaried employees.

Cons

A lot of stock bonuses - which some see as a con. However the company is continuing to grow and not a single one of us are concerned about the value of our stock.
