Pros

High-growth company Exposure to lots of new learning opportunites

Cons

No time to breath. WAY too much work without the necessary resources (people or time)! Run like military--no emotion. No thought to the affect on employees when decisions are being considered. Employees are like chess pieces--to be moved around based on the whim of management. Managed from top-down with no input or regard to subordinates. No culture. All about money, money, money. Nothing about employee development, satisfaction or needs. I never worked at a place before where EVERYONE looked so depressed! The universal despair permeated the entire workplace.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
