Pros

Dynamic and challenging environment, employees are hard-working and highly motivated, large company with start-up mentality/feel that's exciting, individuals that are strong critical thinkers and can adapt quickly to change can succeed and advance within the company, recent implementation of initiatives to improve employee satisfaction (system training, 401k matching, group fitness classes, etc.), management team/executives have strong industry knowledge/experience (lunch and learns with difference service lines and members of executive team have been very beneficial to employees)

Cons

Work-life balance can be a challenge and it's hard to predict when overtime is coming (tends to be driven by corporate actions), base work force is relatively inexperienced (although highly energetic and enthusiastic, creates need for effective training and processes), no coffee/tea provided by the company (seems like a small thing, but have heard many employees comment on lack of this and it matters to employees), reporting deliverables (both internal and external) can be excessive (consider scaling back to truly important metrics/information)

Pros

Excellent people to work with. Ability to work remotely when needed.

Cons

No formal or regular performance review process for promotion or raise considerations. Management tends to rule by fear, creating a sometimes toxic and very unpleasant environment in which to work. Employees often complain about how they are treated by management.
