Pros

We're a great company doing great things, and I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of exciting projects. There's no other place I'd rather work and no one else I'd want to work with.

Cons

From my perspective, there aren't any cons. Growing and challenging myself can be uncomfortable, but it's also professionally rewarding.
