Pros

You can move up fast with minimal education requirements. You are judged solely by your work and not just by your seniority.

Cons

Low pay and lots of hours for field employees. No cost of living demographic balance. A manager in NYC will get paid the same as a manager in Little Rock, AR.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
