Very new company. Can tell they don't quite have their feet on the ground yet. No benefits, which allows them to pay better than other companies. They ask and would like years of experience, which is a good thing unless you have it and see things from a grown up seasoned person. Not worth it yet in my opinion. Can have promise down the road when they have things figured out.
