Pros

great work-life balance & flextime great colleagues ambitious firm-- focuses on exciting growth areas and apparently willing to invest in those businesses CEO is energetic and candid global presence

Cons

heavy on the paperwork to get any training, travel or expenses approved- it needs to go up 3 or 4 levels of management! not a lot of space for people with a good idea to 'run with it'-- everything needs to be pre-approved and scrutinized, meaning the company isn't exactly nimble and can't support thought leadership
