Pros

Fantastic people to work with. Smart, motivated, and collegial.

A very collaborative environment. Work with a lot of the latest technologies.

A very stable company in a very stable market. It has the most rational management team I've encountered in thirty years in the industry.

Cons

Very consensus-driven, to the point where it can be difficult to move projects ahead sometimes. A large staff and legacy codebase with a long tail mean that it can be very difficult to figure out how or why something works the way it does.

Advice to Management

Stay the course. You've built a fantastic medium-size company that's on track to become a fantastic large company.
