Pros

Tons of cool tech to play with 80% of the company is under 35 Cool office in Chicago Free beer, good work from home policy, very relaxed environment Lots of freedom

Cons

80% of the company is under 35 Management at every level is bad It's mostly a sh1t show with no documentation, processes, guidelines, etc in Engineering/Product and IT. Total Wild West style with inexperienced people. "Unlimited" paid vacation is the biggest joke.

Pros

If you live in Chicago and are looking for an entry level, inside sales position, its a cool company to work for.

Cons

Not a true outside sales position. Track dials with minimun expected per day. Managers will tap into calls unannounced. More like a telemarketer position. Never truly need to meet prospects in person, and they encourage you to do the most you can over the phone.

Pros

Highly Data centric, analytical, fast paced environment where issues, alternatives, and preferred solution are passionately debated. Surrounded by very smart professionals who are creative and want to make a difference. The senior managers (Director and up) are kept in the loop of the management thinking in monthly meetings that are very honest and informative.

Cons

Very long hours with little work-life balance. Although the company has been public for two years, it is still a start-up in mindset. Lot of processes or systems are not yet in place to make your work easier. Lot of churn at the top.
