Pros

Flat organization. No boundaries. Plenty to do for a self starter. Great group of people. Willingness to try new things. Fix issues and work hard. Great learning experience.

Cons

Still in the same place. No scaffolding of processes, both on jobsites and offices. Chaotic. Reinventing the wheel every single time, whether it is on the jobsite or office. Teams are staffed thin and worked to the bones. That does not help process or discipline. No strategy for growth and how to scale.
