Pros
Location: ON the 3rd Street Promenade. We share a wall with the Apple store. It's awesome. Benefits: 8+ PPO plans, 100% employee premium coverage for medical, dental and vision + parking, 401k, PTO. Team: We have an amazing team, interns and full time people. Everyone brings their best, everyday. On top of the experience people bring to the table - we all genuinely like each other. The energy in the office is awesome. Intern program: We get 100 - 150 resumes every single quarter, competing for 2 - 5 spots on our PAID internship team. Our internships renew in 3 month intervals so we've had times when everyone stays on and we don't have any spots available. It's incredibly competitive but we have some of the brightest and most insightful interns in the LA area. Egoless leadership, egoless team: Everyone is in it together. Wins are shared and if there are experiences to learn from, we discuss them. Everyone is constantly looking to better themselves, the team and to elevate the company.
Cons
Parking: Santa Monica parking is a pain in general. We do have some parking right behind our office which is convenient but not without typical city parking issues. Fortunately the company covers parking for everyone, full time staff and intern team. Work hard/play hard: This isn't a con - just a nod to the culture. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. Expectations are high but the resources are there for those who ask and grace is given to those who need it. Extensive hand holding just isn't part of our DNA.
