Pros

Borderline academic environment, very bright people, technology-focused. Great opportunities for growth.

Cons

Can't see the forest through the trees. Too focused on short-term, high-margin, quarterly income to invest in long-term, possibly lower-margin, but higher-quantity, more sustainable income.

Business decisions based on metric reports rather than actual thoughtful reasoning.

Advice to Management

Don't always drive; strive to climb the ladder. Enjoy the view for a moment when you hit a mark.
