      Pros

      Good people, flexible workhours and good 'work/life' balance. Quite a young company, with lots of fresh-thinking employees. Good learning ground before you grow up and get a real job!

      Cons

      Compensation and benefits misaligned with industry averages Poor middle-management SVP level. Extremely political and inability to make clear decisions or provide quality leadership.

      Cons

      Slow growth, too much internal politics - makes execution difficult, very perception driven promotion outcomes
