I guess there is a strong personal story behind 4 years pre-undergrad experience as most people tend to finish undergrad first and then start working. You should once check with b-schools whether they will count this as FT experience; alternatively you can apply to b-schools that take it as 6 years' work experience (i.e. if some of them say they take only post grad work experience into account).
I am more concerned about the lack of GPA as that's a requirement in every application. Again, something you will need to get clarity on from your target b-schools.
Otherwise, your work experience looks good, although it will help to know more details about exactly what you do and your achievements.

blackpanther90 - well done on the GMAT! some thoughts and clarifications:
1. Reg. your pre-undergrad work-ex, were these full time employment/ roles, and what was the rationale behind working first and doing an UG thereafter?
2. Reg. the UG pedigree, what was the rationale to complete it within 2 months, and is the 'no GPA' the norm for the school/ broader university? Also, any precedence of your UG alum in your target programs?
3. What was the nature of your roles, particularly post undergrad i.e. functions, key projects/ achievements, etc.?
4. What's the motivation for an MBA, and what are your directional post-MBA goals? This, along with other factors such as these, will help in prioritizing the right school mix.
5. Have you spoken to your target program(s) to check if they count your pre-UG experience? Average work-ex and age at top MBA programs are here, FYI
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out for a deeper discussion.
Regards,
Arvind
