Pros
Transparency - in terms of communication to employees, salaries, and expectations for promotion. Where else can you go on the intranet and see what everyone at a particular level makes? I've never worked at a more open place. Growth mindset - Failure is OK. Our CEO would tell you that if you're not failing, you're not experimenting enough. Everyone is being trained to become an executive. People focus - The company puts its money where its mouth is - when a decision is made, first and foremost the question is asked: How will it affect the people? Evolved people - There's a humanness at Pariveda that's hard to explain to someone who does not work here. People show care and concern for others.
Cons
Because we are growing and continually evolving - as people and as an organization - there are endless opportunities to work on things outside your "day job". The company can take as much work as you put into it, so each individual must determine for him or herself when to say No.
