Salary is above industry standards for any position. Get to work some of truly brilliant minds

Dislikes

Work life balance. Given that it's a startup you would expect that you would have to stretch your timelines a few days. But now, it's managed very horrible. No respect for peoples views. Fast fail approach from the upper management in every aspect. Entire middle management is filled with nincompoops.
