Vantaggi

- Great place to start as a post-graduate as the company is owned by a Stanford professor - has collegiate feeling, consisting mostly of low to mid 20's - flexible work hours

Svantaggi

- very little work/life balance - most managers do not have management skills - they were promoted because of seniority (definitely not all but applies to most) - poor communication from management which causes us to do something last minute and spend numerous hours on it after business hours - borderline laid back and unprofessional work atmosphere - company gives off vibe that employees are replaceable; therefore employees leave the company after around a year - sets company culture that this is not a good place to make a career out of
