Pros

Some good people with experience who want to do their job well. The company could be on the verge of huge growth.

Cons

Management is not accessible. There are no open door policies. Long timers do not actually have experience in their role and/or level. I've heard several people with the same experience: "We need your to help get us to the next level". However once in the role, status quo is the desired state. And if you don't agree, you are bullied into submission.

Pros

I've been in the industry for over 20 years, worked for 6 different companies, and this is like heaven. I am empowered to do a lot of things my way. People are nice and focus on work rather than politic.

Cons

There appears to be too many layers of management, especially for a small company. More people should be hired to the actual work.
