Pros

We are a small group currently, and this gives us a lot of flexibility to explore very new and exciting ideas. Since I've been on-board our very young US arm of our Germany company has created a number of great integrations into our platform. We move fast, and it's great to see ideas turn into product and be part of that process. Having really smart guys to work and collaborate with is also a big plus.

Cons

The time zone difference between US and Germany is probably our biggest challenge.

Relationship between development and business leaders is bad. No good management of projects. Some people are not so friendly. Study on your own: Very minimal training available.

Sometimes the office can be quiet because it's a small team and people have to travel a lot
