Pros

Ascend had a great culture with great people. Very flexible and a lot of autonomy. It's a growing business so things move very quickly.

Cons

Not all of the systems and groups talk to each other making it very difficult to get things done. .

Pros

I'm allowed to execute. I spend my day getting things done! Technical, complex, multifaceted things that are never ordinary greet me every day. I get to travel, work from home, and spend my time with some of the smartest most talented people I've ever met. Yes, I work long hours, but it's really enjoyable and meaningful to me.

Cons

Bureaucratic inefficiencies exist that could be fixed. However, it's not a show stopper and can generally be resolved by flipping over someones desk. That always fixes things.
