Pros

Free lunch & unlimited PTO

Cons

Toxic culture starting from the top down. CEO runs the Company like it’s a boarding school and plays favorites. No room for growth if your not part of the small circle they have built here. Constant management changes make you wonder what is going on at the top. I would avoid if you want any semblance of career growth.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
