Pros

Every now and then you can actually concentrate on some really fun and interesting work.

Cons

Fear of proper organization - this goes all the way to the top. The start-up feel they try to spin overall disorganization is in reality, an enabler for the many general miscommunications, limited cross department institutional knowledge, missed deadlines, finger pointing, inter-employee angst, inter-site angst, large inefficiencies, and in many cases vastly overworked contributors, and a boat load of coasters who get away with doing very little. There are almost what could be described as several 'factions' within headquarters who think they are the decision makers as well due to this lack of organization and accountability (they actually call this culture too, which is extra an aggravating cherry on top). The company can't scale like this.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
