Pros

- Salary & compensation - Working with dedicated and bright leaders - A great company to provide exposure to leadership and business operation - Ability to manage large scale projects & large teams - Promotion potential is unlimited - You are immediately trusted and depended on, even if you start without street credit experience - High intensity pace is there for those who prefer it

Cons

- Work/life balance is nonexistent if you want to be successful - 24/7 operations with unfavorable shift schedules - Promotions tend to be based off of relationships and personality, not merit - The senior level spotlight is always on failures and poor metrics even when 99% of the business is exceeding goal....very few positive at-a-boys are given - Expect to work 60 days straight during the months of November and December....even if it is your day off

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
