Avantages
The job is very interesting and it includes new things all the time. The management team encourages the employees to take initiative and pick their tasks, do the research and execute them. There is great support by the managers, who make themselves available to answer questions and even take calls late at night or during the weekends. The work schedule if very flexible, and we are given the ability to work from home. Each salaried employee is given 3 weeks of PTO to start and an additional day of PTO each year they continue with the company. Friendly and easygoing co-workers are always willing to help if they can. One of the things I really enjoy is that almost every employee has his/her own office, and you can concentrate without being interrupted.
Inconvénients
Given the fact that this is a startup company, the salaries they offer are not as competitive as other established companies. Working for a startup comes also with the uncertainty of future success, or advancement of a career. Pay raises are also not a guarantee. The management team is clearly still figuring out the best ways of managing the product, the workload, and the employees.
