Pros
The co-workers (peer group) are usually the best. They have the best intentions and a heart for doing what is good, and are honest. Pay is on par with other institutions.
Kontras
There is a mentality of growing the value of the company at ALL costs. Keeping VC happy takes priority, and is leveraged as "this is what it takes to get to the big time". Look around,, it is still a mid-sized company that has grown mostly through acquisition, not through new technology or new opportunity. Taking away bonuses for "stock options", only to be told options are not worth the paper they were printed. Management is close to the vest which creates an atmosphere of mistrust. Transparency creates trust - not just partial, here look at the good we have done, transparency. When you make a mistake, own up to the consequences and share in the experience, instead of finding place to put the blame. The attitude starts at the VERY top.
