Pros

Good internal communication and collaboration, great learning and growth opportunities and really caring about the employee career. Very solid top management leading by examples on the values of innovation, honest and transparent communication and performance.

Cons

Difficult to find significant cons in this place, I would say that true customer centric companies mean that the prospect and customer expectations are very hard and this means lots of good work and sometimes long hours!

Pros

Free snacks, pretty chill atmosphere for the most part. Company is in a really good spot above the competition

Cons

When you start they make you do this GW program and treat you like a child. You have to be there 8-5 and they don't give you any work to do. In the services side of the business, it's really hard to move offices is internally
