Pros

Great work/life balance, lots of vacation time, the ability to move into different roles every 18-24 months, the respect the brand has...

Cons

Takes too long to get things done, way too much consensus building. Senior leaders claim they want innovation but it's a fight to get anything innovative accomplished.

Pros

Virtual office works best when we tend to have calls to meet up with global folks.

Cons

We need to know when to say No in being too flexible with phone conference. An average work day could run up to 12 hours!
