Pros

The flat organizational structure affords you all the opportunity you are looking for. There isn't a lot of office politics, and if you see an opportunity they allow you to go for it! You have to take responsibilities for your own success, so if you have an entrepreneurial spirit there isn't a better place to work! They have taken a vested interest in offering training, but it's not made mandatory. They do a great job with events outside of the normal work day and spare no expense when it comes to pampering their employees. The company has continued to invest in the company even during the economic slowdown and are well positioned to grab market share when things pick up.

Cons

The flat structure isn't for everyone, so if you aren't willing to take some initiative you can feel lost or left out. At times it seems as if there are mixed messages coming from management. Different leaders take on different pet-projects, so priorities often get reshuffled with no clear sense of direction or strategy

Pros

You get to stay in a local place. So, if you are a burnt out ex-big 4 who is sick of traveling, it's a good place to park yourself for a year or two.

Cons

The place is a body shop to push local projects to burnt out ex-big 4 people. So, if you are looking for growth, you are not going to get it. The management response for your development is "it's your responsibility". Good sounding, but in reality this means they will use whatever value you have till you are no longer needed. And any value add skils, you will have to pony up time and money to do so. So, if you are little motivated, then be a self-employed consultant through other outfits. Will be more financially rewarding. Also, if you are not willing to play office politic, then you will be pushed out. This is very political organization.
