      Pros

      Great innovative space and extremely great people to work alongside

      Cons

      They do not treat contractors well. Multiple contractors have been at the the company for 2-3 years, with no visibility to conversation of full time employment. They hire externally for promotions and desired positions. Even among full time employees I seldomly saw promotions or career progression.
