Pros

Perfect for creative specialists, rel. young team in senior management, many highly qualified and well paid positions. Interesting and unique industry.

Cons

Rel. young senior management team can limit personal growth opportunities for some time. Highly specialized jobs which make can make it difficult to switch to other industries later in the career.

Pros

Great blend of large company resources and small company entrepreneurial spirit. People are by far the best part of working here, lots of engagement and personal accountability. People are smart, and willing to pull together. Very little politics. Uncomplicated management structure. Good support for employees and their work life balance.

Cons

We are lean, a few more hands would help.
