Pros

Plenty of opportunity to improve practices within the company. Selling bonus every 3/4 years

Cons

The company is driven by a 3/4 year selling cycle, which means the majority of decisions made are short sighted. The integration process is poorly handled, despite the number of companies that have been acquired. Acquisitions tend to lose a fairly substantial portion of the employees, meaning remaining employees end up picking up more work.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good exposure to finance and business operations, and opportunities to work cross-functionally with different teams. The company is growing, so there is room to learn and take ownership.

Cons

Processes can feel a bit unclear at times, and priorities may shift quickly. Some systems and reporting workflows could be more streamlined. Like many growing companies, communication between teams can sometimes be inconsistent.
