Pros

Collaborative Respectful – of others, of differing thoughts and of Work-Life balance Supportive – of differences, of learning and growth Great training - outside technical training is supported, and excellent interpersonal and "soft skills" training is brought in house, so that cross functional groups gain a common language and skillset. Engaging – it is a conscious effort to provide new opportunities for professional growth Efficient – not a lot of red tape or dead ends. Things get accomplished!

Cons

As the company has grown, it takes more of an effort to stay connected with coworkers in other groups. This is easy to do, as people are very receptive. And it is a good challenge to have- it shows that there are really great people here that you want to stay in contact with.
