Pros

- Great work environment, coworkers were super friendly and helpful. - Open to new ideas and laid back culture.

Cons

- Very unprofessional way of firing someone. Called at 8:30 pm to say don't come to work the next day. Was given no reason for termination since it was at-will. They're in the clear legally but definitely an unprofessional way of terminating someone. - Not a great work life balance. People needed to stay till 7 or 8pm at work to get their stuff done.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
