Pros

growth, growth, growth - growth brings tremendous opportunity to move up if you perform well long term vision - Jeff B makes it clear that short term stock market fluctuations do not matter ability to make a change - if you have a good idea and are persistent, you can change a lot

Cons

work life balance, because of growth lot of ambiguity and corresponding stress and long hours. On the whole pretty satisfying experience with good opportunity for growth - but the cost is personal life and work life balance

Pros

The company places high expectations on all of it's employees as well as the managers and provides constant challenges to improve processes and procedures. There are many opportunities to move up within the company.
