      Challenging and Rewarding

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Being a part of the mission is inspiring - Benefits are great - It is challenging to work here, which I find very satisfying - We are given amazing resources to do our job - Flexibility - Opportunity to work on really interesting and engaging projects - Opportunity to work with gifted and passionate co-workers - It is always fun to answer the question "where do you work?"

      Cons

      - We sometimes over think our solutions and fail to see the simple answer in front of us. - There are a small percentage of employees who lack humility and spread an unblanced amount of negative energy to those they work with. It appears that thier behaviour and attitudes are tolerated by management, which is frustrating. - We rely on temporary consultants for a lot of strategic work and thinking rather than our own internal long term resources. (This is improving)
