Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work; a sense of really being able to contribute, and of being valued for it; coworkers and managers one actually wants to be around, respect for work/life balance.

Cons

Nothing notable. I sometimes feel affected by cross-team communication failure, but given how fast we've been growing, we're actually managing that better than lots of companies IMO.
