Pros

Smart people. Fast paced. Freedom to think outside the box, learn new skills, and bring an idea to the table and be heard.

Cons

None that are worth mentioning. Most of the people whining in these reviews weren't a good fit for the environment. Lazy, entitled, and obvious limited experience in the workforce.

Sometimes hesitant to invest where we need to.
