Pros

  3. Lots of team outings, meals, and parties paid for by the company.

  4. Lots of smart people who are diligent with their jobs.

  5. The company is doing very well, and this is a morale booster.

  6. Highly disciplined workforce who care about their jobs and are willing to work the extra mile should the situation arise.

  7. Willing to spend money to invest in new technologies and training for staff.

Cons
  1. Work hours can be very long during critical periods.
