Pros

The best team of people I have ever worked with - hard working, talented, friendly, supportive, proud of the work they are doing and proud to be the part of a good company. Everyone had a voice and opinions and ideas were always welcome. Company was very serious about work/life balance and paid a lot of attention to employee development/training on all levels. Good benefits package. Opportunities to grow. Keep up with latest technologies.

Cons

Continuous organizational restructuring - too many changes too often.
