Business Outlook

Pros

A great relaxed work environment. You feel ownership of the company because of the atmosphere created. A lot of transparency and senior management pushes this transparency to all levels.

Cons

The hours can be tough because it is a high demand and runs pretty much all day everyday. The pay is not bad but could be better.
