Pros

Lots of smart people and fun problems to solve. Everyone wants to help you succeed. I just moved to a new building and it’s a great facility.

Cons

Sometimes there is a lot of pressure to increase capacity for delivery, frequently deadlines feel arbitrary and artificial. Parking is hard to get and the location is right downtown so good luck if you need to drive. Company is really young which is great but if you have a family you might be one of few on your team.
