Pros

For the most part, everyone is competent at their respective positions. They have some very talented and smart team members that are good to learn from. Long-term compensation is really good if you are willing to grind it out your first 5 years.

Cons

No work/life balance, 12-hour days are expected even though you are on salary, New employees are not compensated fairly for the amount of hours.
