      Fantastic place to work, sometimes a bit too hierarchal and tenure-based

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits, decent pay, supportive and encouraging atmosphere, lots of energy and passion, open to employee feedback, great results

      Cons

      Promotions are based 90% on tenure, and very little on merit and ability (at least initially). Career path is very set in stone (must check certain boxes before being able to move to the next level). Incentive/Bonus doesn't fluxuate much on performance - difference between a high rating and low rating ~$800, after taxes, more like $400.
