Pros

Plenty of opportunity for growth and the coworkers are great. Job security feels very comfortable. Fun company to work for and they take good care of the employees and are pretty good about scheduling out of office activities together.

Cons

Heavy workload. Lots of work with many competing deadlines. High expectation to go above and beyond. Feels understaffed although they continue to make hires.
