Pros

Lots of development opportunities. General good people to work with, good technical resources and procedures. Appropriate recognition for good performance.

Cons

Procedures aren’t consistently practiced. Complicated organizational structure. Understaffing leads to relatively high workload and turnover. Still want to do everything instead of setting priorities.

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
