Pros

The collaborative structure of the company encourages an entrepreneurial spirit. Most employees take ownership of their position and have a voice in their team. Generally the job is stable and I have never been pressured to work more than 40 hours save the occasional last minute deadline. The benefits package is also the best I've seen for a company of this size.

Cons

You get out what you put in. This is generally a good thing, but if you don't take ownership of your role and work hard to contribute effectively, you will have a hard time. The normal trappings of a large company are also present but to a much lesser degree - bureaucracy, interpersonal conflict, slow to innovate, etc.

Pros

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.
