Pros

truly collaborative environment wants to be cutting edge in technology willing to train employees strong senior management willing to admit and seek to solve problems grows organically rather than by acquisition low turnover, staff sticks around

Cons

too much tolerance of non-performers, both individuals and offices trusted certainly individuals too much some long time managers (lifers) don't have an outside perspective to compare things too

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees were willing to help me and teach me about what was going on in the business. Upper management seemed to have good control over the office and made sure the work was completed correctly.

Cons

Working as an intern, the amount of responsibility was limited so finding meaningful work was hard come by. This resulted in many boring days.
