Pros

Great people until you get to the higher echelons of leadership. Competitive pay. Generous time off. Great flexibility. Growth opportunities.

Cons

Hectic leadership with no patience to see strategies through. Sudden layoffs, very unceremonious. High churn and leadership turnover. Sometimes causes micromanagement.
