Business Outlook

Pros

broad exposure to a variety of industry task, which normally you don't get at large/mature company. So you have opportunity to explore different things and decide what you'd like to dive in depth further.

Cons

Fast working pace. Require work during weekend during project crunch time. Think it twice if you don't expect work overtime frequently.

Pros

dynamic environment and flexible hours. Learning new stuff every day. Good for career development.

Cons

the project planning and execution could be a bit better. It's a waste of everyone's time if a project is cut short after month's work. Compensation and benefit could be better such as prescription glasses and RMTs!
