You get to work with some really awesome people, passionate about what they are doing The culture is the best part about the company, though some who have lost their ambition are able to stick around for longer than they should Feedback is open, but sometimes ignored

Cons

Work-life balance is really hard to have on some teams The pay is really bad, some people are being extremely underpaid in exchange for culture High turnover due to these issues
