Pros

Very smart people, generally very helpful and on the same page. Concerned with making sure work gets done in an efficient manner. Informal development incredibly effective.

Cons

Lower compensation than some other comparable jobs, though not embarrassingly so. Formal development opportunities could be better.

Advice to Senior Management

Have a strong strategy for short, medium, and long term. Ensure that employees are communicated with proactively, not just in response to events, if business outlook and processes change.
