Working on the latest technology with world-leading clients. Relatively informal management, and a large degree of autonomy.

Pros

Good parking lot, nice people, free tap water.

Cons

CEO likes for work on weekends, so as a result all leadership works weekends. CEO and CFO seem to be obsessed with ES&G and as a result odd decisions are made with respect to hiring and retention.
