Strong company and good values, but salary's could've been higher

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to intricate market technology and lateral movement, relatively flat structure.

Cons

Base pay is extremely average for a company with such a high rep and bonuses could have been stronger, especially given that the stress for my team was very high and working more than 60 hours wasn't unheard of.
