Pros
* Building neat, exciting things that haven't been done before for companies large and small * Upper management is open to funding internal projects that could improve efficiency or bring in new clients * In my experience, managers/team leads are open to change and don't micro-manage * Small company so you have some say in how things are run * Daily "walk time" where you can take a break from working and chat with coworkers * Free snacks in the break room, stocked every Monday and Wednesday
Cons
* From what I gathered during my internship, applicants aren't given very competitive offers so they tend to sign on with other companies. There's a lot of work to get done and not a lot of new people coming aboard, so some projects end up not getting the love they need.
