Pros

This place is incredible! Lots of opportunities for innovation and growth. Everyone is hardworking and dedicated and for a smaller company it's amazing how much is still being accomplished. Management is super supportive and accessible as well as friendly, driven by results not ego which is refreshing. Coworkers are also hardworking and friendly, I feel like I'm on a team with a mission.

Cons

If you're uncomfortable with taking initiative this might not be the best fit; this is a place to bring your A-game and innovate.
