Pros

Smart people, pretty well organized, and supportive of employees. There is good work to do and you really can feel like you are changing the world.

Cons

Their growth creates challenges with communication and with conflicting assignments and priorities. Some folks (mid-level managers) are rather taken with themselves. Pay could definitely be better.
