Pros

very flexiable, unlimited PTO, dog friendly office, ability to work from home if needed, proper expectations for scope of work

Cons

low pay for the amount of responsibility, caught in a catch 22 for being able to move up within the company...they require experience to move to new position and do not take current experience into account

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is going through a major upgrade - products, process, etc.... Customer base is solid and they know why they love us. You can step in and make a difference if you are comfortable in a highly changing environment

Cons

Change is hard - made harder when decision triggers are not pulled. This is a very distributed company - majority of employees are outside of HQ location - collaboration tools are old. Spend (some) time celebrating success and people.
