Pros

Super smart and highly talented pool of people in the company with full of humility. Each and every employee is treated with same level of respect no matter what your role is. The company is very transparent and the level of commitment by the senior employees is unmatchable. Even for the hiring process, the CEO of the company, Anthony Bruce came down to the DC office in the middle of his business trip overseas to meet and introduce every new hire during the orientation and that speaks volumes of the work ethics and culture. PS: There is free food almost everyday in the office.

Cons

Having a startup kind of a culture, sometimes you can get more work leading you to stay in office for long hours.
