Pros

- Fairly lax on in-office presence (2/3 days per week) - Annual Bonus is performance based; requires some brown nosing, but can be rewarded nicely (upwards of ~30% base) plus opportunity to get $15k in stock

Cons

- Lack of training or knowledge transfer - If you don't have kids, be ready to take on more work as many people take advantage of the 5/6 months off and they don't backfill - Very small LFO & FP&A presence in AZ; lack of finance opportunities - Rarely backfill roles; redistribute those responsibilities to other colleagues - No room to negotiate raise or salary once hired
