Vantaggi
Since it's a small company, everything that you do has an impact on the company, the product, and the bottom line. Upper management listens to the employees, cares about the employees, and is willing to make changes that will enhance employee satisfaction. Company outings (such as Cubs rooftop party), charity contribution and company event (such as JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge). Since it's a small company, it's easy to reach out to the CEO and the COO and schedule a lunch, or a meeting, to have your thoughts heard.
Svantaggi
Since it's a small, privately funded company, there's not a lot of money being thrown around, compared to companies that receive millions in funding, so we're definitely lean, in many ways.
