Pros

Good work environment. Engaging and open culture with relevant values system. Room to grow and move up within org. Senior management seem to share strategy and give high level sense of direction to business. Feel involved in moving org forward.

Cons

Very high expectations of output have lead to impacts to work/life balance if you don't self manage. I think starting salaries for some ground floor positions are quite low, but due to ability to move up within org the power is still with the individual.
