Pros

Substantial autonomy, opportunity to learn...great coworkers. Emphasis on service and diversity. Good work life balance. Great perks. Love this job and this company.

Cons

It’s challenging work. You’re given lots of freedom and time/space, but you need to translate that into results. And you’re working with people who are highly skilled and have been doing this for a long time. While no one makes you work crazy hours, you might need to put in extra time to be able to hang.
