Pros
The biggest pro is Q2 company culture. They have spent a lot of time and energy creating an environment that is caring and fun. Between volunteer initiatives and ping pong tournaments, there is always something going on to engage employees. A newer office space means higher tech conference rooms, gym, mini-grocery store, and other amenities. Q2 happy hours are frequent and fun, and all the new faces make it interesting and engaging. The CEO is very passionate about the Q2 product and often gets emotional at company events. It's very touching! Listening to the executives speak is something I look forward to, for sure.
Cons
Fast growth comes with it's downsides. We've spent a lot of the past x years working our tails off to make this company succeed. And while it has been a fun ride, forward looking executives are eager to bring in new upper level talent to manage the existing workforce. This is business, sure, but we end up pushing away some of our smartest and brightest because there are so few internal promotions. There is plenty of opportunity to learn here, though, and many people explore positions in other departments. Just not a lot of growth in their own.
