      Pros

      Poor senior management, lack investment in infrastructure, chaotic support functions with Finance in particular worked to breaking point.

      Challenging and Supportive

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Highly competent people, very good control of process, especially considering its size. Above-average compensation and benefits, relaxed environment. Meritocracy. Supportive and encouraging bosses. Emphasis on total career development, not just grinding out the instant job. High emphasis on independence and self-supervision; this firm trusts its employees to do their jobs and removes those that don't instead of micro-managing everyone.

      Cons

      Honestly, none that I can think of. I'm very happy and optimistic 2 years in. Everyone is type A so that leads to inevitable head-butting occasionally but everyone also is a team player so when this happens it's rare and works out fine.
