Pros

Great environment working with a cutting edge project and a fast developing industry. People are really engaged and supportive. Lots of lovely perks with lots of opportunity to move and grow in career.

Cons

They don't always get everything right but it is because its a company playing catch up as it moves from a start up mentality into a more mature approach. The back office is catching up slowly and this may be irritating for employees looking for everything to be de facto standard of a large office. It's not. You have to sometimes fend for yourself.

Pros

- The ability to learn more at my own pace - Sharing knowledge - Getting to know a global team - The ability to share my opinion - Participation in other teams - Traveling - Great Insurance - Great Perks

Cons

Some teams experience more pushback than others, just like anywhere else. There is always going to be someone who insists on doing things "their way". This isn't GH's fault, it is just who these people are and these people need to be guided, or taught a more objective perspective, if not possible then this obviously isn't their ideal environment.
