If you prove yourself, you can truly work independently without management on your case constantly. The pay is great, benefits are second to none, and the whole environment of the company is inspiring. Work-life balance couldn't possibly be better.
Cons
Communication breaks down sometimes, but it's pretty rare.
Great core team with positive working relationships.
Good benefits.
Motivated core-team that built a once great culture.
Success after leaving.
Cons
Absent upper management.
Confusing company direction.
A small company with extremely high levels of secrecy and red-tape.
Long product 'development' cycles that never result in anything.
