        Pros

        Fast pace of growth brings lots of opportunities. Many things you create from scratch. Relatively big company with start-up feeling. Very dynamic environment. Could be a great opportunity for personal growth for some.

        Cons

        Sometimes it might be challenging to conduct your project when you have to interact with multiple departments. Project management needs improvement. Working from home sometimes OK but not common.

Everyone who works there has been around the block and are there by choice.

                Very fast pace of innovation means a lot of hours.

                    What are your thoughts on companies requesting references before scheduling an interview? Recently got a request for an interview but the instructions were to provide 3 references first.
