Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing people work at this company. True "can-do" work ethic. Business looks strong, company talks of going public in 2 years.

Cons

There is no slow up of work and everyone works at a constant pace of "fast". Never any down time, and even if you take vacation you worry about work getting done. Work life balance really doesn't exist.
