Pros

Company culture and employees all believe in the brand message and this is infused into the office vibe and day-to-day. Great company to have on your resume that is rapidly growing in headcount and a place to jumpstart career.

Cons

Not the most competitive pay but there is opportunity to move up faster than a more corporate environment. Upper management is tasked with the rapid growth goals and may not recognize the hard work that employees have devoted.

Pros

This is a company that values risk-taking. With that comes a lot of creative freedom, working on interesting content, and a lot of responsibility.

Cons

Workloads are not proportionately distributed, and upper management is not regulating that. There's also an unrealistic expectation of many employees to work late and be available 24/7 making work-life balance non-existent.
