Pros

The office space was cool and they had a beer faucet

Cons

This was by far the worst place I’ve ever worked. I still have anxiety thinking about it, it may have been the acquisition that made it this way but I’ll never know. There was no management on our team. Onboarding was rushed and not thorough. The culture was that of a high school and super political. There even was a “wellness room” everyone referred to as the cry room for stress. People were constantly quitting so it was next to impossible to get things done.
