Hyper and I love it

Pros

Been here for a few years and I love it. Its hectic but we have wonderful clients and to be honest many of my colleagues are great personal friends. Fast growth does of course stretch us and our systems and processes but these are all understood by those that are here for the long term. I know some of the people who left and basically they couldn't hack it. We try to hire the best and need to keep doing that.

Cons

You are expected to work hard and be focussed. There is a trade off to work life balance and we have been promised clearer guidance on this point so we await with interest.
