Business Outlook

Pros

Design and overall atmosphere. People are generally fun and enthusiastic. Strong product. Careful decisions made in all aspects of business. Cautious to grow in a responsible way. Working towards an eco-friendly environment.

Cons

They want sheep not leaders. Compensation is not as good as it should be. 401K is a joke. You definitely have to sip the kool aid to move forward in the company and feel that you are paid fairly
