Pros

Small size of office/team meant I got to know most people working there. Good salary and benefits. Self-managed.

Cons

Careers in non-core functions limited due to nature of the business. Company is too dependent on commodity prices. Great when they are high but you will find yourself laid off if the prices tank!
