Pros

Great benefits, great people, and exciting work. The management team really listens and actively solicits feedback. Efficiency is a big, and there is a lot of collaboration between teams. People are understanding and very appreciative of the value you provide. There's a lot of opportunity to do a broad range of exciting work and projects. People work smart, and there's great work-life balance to boot.

Cons

There's a lot of trial by fire, and learning by doing. I love it, though I can understand how it may not be for everyone.
