Pros

The company encourages proactive initiatives from it's staff and receives ideas submitted. They have implemented a new feature to the performance reviews where the staff is asked to give feedback regarding their management as well as receive it.

Cons

The company needs to improve it's career development track for current employees. They do not foster the development or promote the talented staff already employed with them. This is disappointing aspect of an otherwise great company.
