Pros

Company culture - the leaders truly care about it. It's not just lip service. Also, the leadership team is aligned. They all want what's best for the company and don't let any ego get in the way of change, new ideas, etc. I feel so supported by leadership and peers.

Cons

Things are moving fast and it can be hard to keep up. Moving fast can be really fun and interesting, but management needs to set those expectations up front with people in the recruiting process.
