Pros
- Continuous improvement is part of the culture. - Encourages collaboration, team work and peer reviews. - Perfectionists with regard to the highest quality deliverables. The culture is very unique: - No game playing/cya - No grudges - There is a general desire to help make each other as successful as possible. The culture feels West Coast (more specifically, Portland, OR mixed with a little San Fran).
Cons
The one East coast thing I see is the reluctancy to invite a new person into the fold. It can take a while to feel included and part of the team. You have to go through a prove yourself phase. During that time, you could feel discouraged and like an outsider. It passes in due time and then from then on, your good. The company is currently working on striking the right balance between collaboration and clear decision making.
