Cons

- Precise writing using data to frame up the narrative will require much practice and patience, but you'll learn a valuable new skill - High demand for excellence, will lead to delivering to tight timelines, but senior management is open to flexibility in your work-life balance

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
