Pros

Culture is truly one of amazing support and family feel. Surprising since we are such a large company. It's awesome to work for such a recognizable company with equally recognizable clients. Exciting times for sure. Snacks are cool, travel to new places is particularly fun too! They do a great job of making you feel a valued member of the team. Benefits are great too.

Cons

There seem to be a tremendous amount of employees hired each month. Assuming this is all due to growth, it's a great thing. It could be concerning if we are just adding headcount, but not staying as efficient as possible. I don't claim to know which it is.
