Pros

Collaborate with smart and dedicated individuals who are passionate about turning out high-quality work. Employees are proud to be making a positive impact. Good health benefits and 401k matching. Pretty positive work-life balance and common-sense schedule flexibility.

Cons

Little to no growth opportunities for the majority of employees. The review process has improved, but employees do not have a view of career next steps outside the current year. Well-meaning exec team, but while big-picture goals are important, they need to be more supportive of the managers and lower-level employees. High turnover rates and burnout are seen for this reason. The expectations of what can be accomplished and how the company can scale are unrealistic for the size of the current (hardworking) workforce.
