Pros
Creative and great people to work with, opportunities to learn new tools, telecommuting, tuition reimbursement, flexible hours. Tom Sawyer Software is a small company and the CEO and other managers continually work hard to improve workflow and department structure so that the company can grow. Its policies reflect the CEO's willingness to support the employees' growth potential by fostering both personal and professional growth. Employees are encouraged to expand their work skills by forming and reforming project work groups across departments. This blurring of specialty areas nurtures company participation and enriches the work environment. Tom Sawyer Software is also a family-friendly company. The CEO has continually proven his heart-felt dedication to his employees. For instance he has on more than one occasion held a job for someone while on personal leave for extended periods, allowed work schedules to change periodically to allow students to continue in school, and even extended health insurance for a terminally ill employee.
Cons
Not enough seasoned workers to get the work done. This can clog up the works when trying to expand into new areas and break new ground, since the products are complex and training takes quite a bit of time.
