Pros

Management is good at identifying weaknesses in company culture, policies, or direction and making changes. Very little dogma.

Extremely strong team. I'm constantly impressed and occasionally intimidated by how smart and effective my co-workers are.

Cons

There are a lot of growing pains. We've only had a year where we couldn't fit the whole company onto a single floor or a building. There was a lot of communication we took for granted that doesn't happen anymore, especially between product/engineering and sales/support/marketing.

Advice to Management

Have more structured ways for people to learn new skills and try out new roles.

It's hard to make time for personal development, and it isn't an explicit priority for many leads.
