Pros

The company has a supportive team environment. Coworkers are friendly and there to share knowledge. There are good opportunities to learn, take ownership, and grow professionally. Leadership is approachable, the culture is friendly and hardworking. Teams are small so in your role you will have diversity in tasks. Because it is a small company everyone knows one another which creates a welcoming environment.

Cons

Could be a pro or con depending who you ask however it is a small-midsize company so teams are on the small side.
