Pros

The leaders have their plates full, and there's still a lot of change to navigate. This is an exciting place to be, and it's a hot growing industry. The vast majority of the leaders I've met are smart, kind, and focused on growth.

Cons

Yes there are growing pains, that happens anytime two companies integrate. The people complaining gave up when things got hard. If you are committed and don't quit at the first challenge, this place is very rewarding, exciting, with a ton of potential for people who are willing to work hard and not just out for a quick buck. The benefits need improving, but health insurance issues are hardly exclusive to this company.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
