Pros

Project ownership/leadership and creative freedom encouraged Job responsibility increases quickly Employee stock purchase program and good benefits Easy to build network and working relationships Senior executives recognize contributions and have sound strategic business plans

Cons

Constant turmoil due to poor leadership and lack of market specific knowledge. Management always in honeymoon stage with annual acquisition leaders/employees – core staff overlooked and devalued for flavor-of-the-month thinking. Legacy employee problems not managed – massive dysfunction allowed. Promotions promised yearly - none given due to annual manager changes 8 in 5 years. Beyond long hours with no perks or bonuses. Compensation does not keep pace with responsibility growth. No boundaries for vacation or personal time, 24/7 job.
