      Pros

      - Great visa sponsorship program (cap-exempt so no need to go through H1B lottery + great Green Card processing support) - Great mentorship - Flexible working hours - Easy PTO approvals - Frequent salary increases - Great professional development support - Non-toxic environment to work in (highly supportive managers)

      Cons

      - Lowballing initial salary offers (but do negotiate!) - Company culture inconsistent in different offices (DC and LA office all the way!) - Top management can be out of touch and insensitive to employee needs

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
