Pros

Fun events, young company, very tuned in with extreme sports, music, culture, and youth culture.

Cons

Long hours (on call in a way), event work at night. The structure of the company is sometimes not efficient; I've dealt with poor communication and planning skills, but it's dependent on who your supervisor is. High company turnover rate.

Pros

*Private company so bottomless checking account to make things happen without having to micromanage. *If you have an "out there" idea and can come up with a business plan to show a return, you can make it happen. *Great benefits and perks. *Some amazing talent and employees.

Cons

*Management are lapdogs to Austria. Lots of "yes men" rushing around to please Austria Execs. *Pay isn't where it should be given the expected work load. *Tough to enjoy the great perks when you are lacking sleep and are only fueled on Red Bull. *Lots of "favorites" and people that you wonder how the hell they graduated high school let alone got a full time position. *LOTS of reports that management know is just "busy work" but again needed to appease Austria. "uuuh, yeah...those TPS reports..."

Pros

Autonomy. Independence. Fast paced cutting edge environment. Exciting environment, constantly pushing new ideas and next level events and projects. We pull off here what would be impossible nearly anywhere else.

Cons

Very streamlined workforce (ie not enough headcount) for the output that is expected. Cultural difference between Austrian leadership and US leadership often lead to decisions that are not as successful in the US. No work/life balance. The job is a lifestyle not a 9 to 5. Young either thrive in this environment or you don't.
