Pros

Coming out of a large organization where it often took months, if not years to bring new initiatives to fruition, Ascend offers a refreshing change of pace. After just 6 months with Ascend, I have been able to make a measurable impact. An added bonus is that I really like the people I work with!

Cons

Things move very quickly at Ascend which can be a challenge for some people. You need to be able to recognize the value in rapid changes in organizational structure, people and systems.
