Pros

- People are fantastic (super open to ideas, encouraging of one another, hearts in the right place) - Open dialogue (at no other company do I think 50 people would comment negatively on a director posting something and the director would be down to talk about it. Largely leadership genuinely listens to the employees) - Work is pretty interesting

Cons

- Growth complexity (company is in a growth stage where they need to make strategic decisions about how they grow, this means taking extremely generous policies and recently making them a bit less generous but still quite good as of now. Also taking kinda ad hoc rules and making them more ridged and well defined) - This can be frustrating at time but is something of a necessary evil if the company is to continue growing sustainably
