Pros

Excellent leadership, fantastic company strategic direction. Teams are given time & resources to do things right. Basically everyone I work with is relented and good fun, which makes doing your job easier if your (generally on same page, and no one is being protective of their little fiefdom!)

Cons

There are none really that I can speak of. The company is growing fast, so we need to work hard to keep culture and keep only taking on the right kinds of people.
