Pros

Friendly atmosphere, flexible working hours, unlimited home office. I've tried out working in different roles. It really helped me to understand our business. It takes time for most of the fresh starters to get their head around what our company is doing and why.

Cons

Our product is complex. There is a steep learning curve. It takes time for most of the fresh starters to get their head around what our company is doing and why.
