Pros

The company is still small so there are many opportunities to stretch outside of your day to day responsibilities. Because of that I have had the opportunity to engage all levels of upper management with process improvement suggestions.

Cons

I don't remember the last time a week has gone by without something going wrong. Decisions are often made in silos and are not weighed across the business areas. Instead of project managers who understand the competing interests of departments, goals are made by the individual groups, often at the expense of another.

Pros

Hire high quality staff, very good compensation in good times, good compensation in bad times, successfully run company, benefits are quite good, interactions of staff are quite good, keep on top of technology improvements, stable in good and bad times

Cons

A large portion of the compensation is tied to the bonus pool and only paid annually which can make it difficult to budget, the KTO is a bit overbearing
