Pros

The best thing about this place for me was the people. It's a youngish crowd, and everyone is very talented, so you get a chance to learn a lot. The CEO is a very smart guy and it's hard not to absorb some of that knowledge.

Cons

-There is a culture of secrecy. Only the people at the very top ever really know what's going on. And when it comes to marketing its kind of an issue if most of your team is not in the loop. But it's not just the overhead view. It's the day-to-day of what you're doing and why you're doing it - basically the direct opposite of micromanaging. It's like you're kept in the dark, thrown into the lion's den with no preparation and when you inevitably don't meet expectations suddenly your the one who is inadequate. -I should emphasize that this isn't everyone's experience, because they play favorites. The best thing you can do is find a way to cozy up to the higher-ups so that they set you up for success. But I've seen that not work for some...

Pros

To be fair, I founded the company so my review is biased but our biggest PRO is ambition, growth and opportunity. We’re not a startup but with startup culture! It’s definitely not for everyone but for the right person, this is an amazing place to grow!

Cons

Given the startup culture, we don’t believe in a lot of red tape. We tend to move fast and that can be slightly challenging at times. That’s why I repeat that anyone working with us has to love that startup culture.
