Pros

Great pay and family focused environment (annual bbq's, family events, etc.). Young culture also present, definitely an entrepenuereal ambiance present. Has not converted to large cold big corporate culture yet, but is showing signs of this transition. Many opportunities for someone proactive who wants to develop other expertise, but this depends on individual ability to reach out to other departments.

Cons

Long hours. Constant access via blackberry, laptop, mobile. Slowly moving towards large corporate mentality. Meaning there is a movement towards compartimentalizing each department. This affects intercompany mobility and is starting to affect individuals from further developing in areas not originally hired for.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
