Vantaggi
From the CEO - who I absolutely adore - all the way down to most of my fellow individual contributors, the PEOPLE are what makes this company great! There is a genuine sense of teamwork and mutual respect throughout the organization. Leadership is truly transparent and responsive to every employee's concerns and questions, and is always looking for a better way of doing things. The CEO has recently instituted a monthly "all-hands" teleconference where he shares the progress of company-wide initiatives and answers questions from employees around the globe. I look forward to these calls, and always leave them with a renewed sense of excitement for the future of the firm. I feel that my work matters, that I matter, and that I am respected by everyone with whom I come into contact.
Svantaggi
Sure, there are day-to-day annoyances that occur, but none are what I would consider deal-breakers in continuing my employment. The biggest con I can think of is the "Debbie Downers" who will find the negative in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. These people either need to shut up, buck up, or get out. Let the rest of us enjoy the continuing success of the company and the fruits of our labor.
