Pros

This is a fast-paced work environment. A new idea might get discussed in the morning that leads to a change proposal. That proposal might be approved by lunch time and the wheels are turning to make it happen by the end of the day. The company is well known and respected in business circles, and there seems to be a lot growth potential.

Cons

Sometimes, the fast pace is difficult to handle. Though decisions can be made very quickly, they are sometimes not well thought through. Most of the mid-level managers are in their early 30's which means they are energetic and enthusiastic. But that also means that they lack deep business experience and a long-term perspective. It is almost like the company operates for today with no consideration for yesterday and little worry about the long-term future. I also felt like there was little concern for people. There was a sort of "take it or leave it" attitude toward employees. So, if you didn't like it, you could leave. There were no employee morale building programs and there was absolutely no concern about keeping employees satisfied so they would stay for the long term.
