Pros

There is a strong focus right now on change with the culture at the forefront, which is great. I also find there to be a good work/life balance and the ability to deselect if needed. The people are generally very nice and easy to work with as well.

Cons

Need better managers in place to help with growth among employees. Ability to not have to get buy-in at multiple levels of people is something being worked on but we're not quite there.
