Pros

I appreciate the company meetings, and that the execs choose to share confidential information with employees. They share the goals, the plans, what deals may happen, and they will answer any question that is asked. All they ask in return, is we keep confidential info in the company. Feels great to be treated that way, and trusted.

Cons

We work hard, the expectations are high, we are all working together to build something great. This is not a country club. You hear about the basketball and the bubble hockey, and people take breaks, but we all work really hard and it is intense. There is no dead wood in this company. Every pulls their own weight. The open concept work environment is not for everyone. Wear headphones if you need to focus.
