Pros

Values young people with limited experience, including interns Fast and straightforward hiring process They have made strides to hire younger candidates and reorganized in favor of a younger, more dynamic and tech savvy workforce Tons of opportunity to grow into managerial positions even for less experienced candidates There are employee sales with amazing discounts, no shredding needed! This is great for Holiday gifting!! They are very intentional about promoting women, really a forward leaning hiring and promotion culture that values the input of their female workforce There is a 20% yearly bonus for Marketing employees

Cons

A bit too much socialization after hours (there is the 'usual' crowd there, but this is changing) The older side of the company is very "traditionally male", and though it doesn't affect the day to day work it can be annoying They do prefer hourly to salaried, it is hard to get a salaried offer, negotiate, negotiate, negotiate! If you are on the engineering team (not management) the bonus is less likely to happen, negotiate it beforehand, again, negotiate, negotiate, negotiate!
