Pros

Strong cross-functional teamwork, truly mission driven and focused on patients/clients. Expects self-management and checking your ego at the door. Lots of flexibility, as long as you get your job done. Generous benefits.

Cons

The company has grown so quickly that it has under-invested in its communication architecture. There's disconnect up and down the hierarchy as well as across teams. It's also part of the philosophy - just focus on your stuff, don't worry about what's happening elsewhere - but that leads to missed opportunities to coordinate and learn from different parts of the org.
