Pros

The environment is great here. There's more cooperation than I have seen at many companies. Some of the people rank as the brightest I've worked with, over a fairly long career, yet there are no obnoxious egos to contend with! You can contribute and learn a lot along the way. Management is good at recognizing and rewarding effort.

Cons

The company can't hire quickly enough to keep pace with growth, and HR has some issues (prematurely screening out good candidates, yet allowing some really weak ones through to the Engineering screening). FYI, expectations are high, so if you're looking to just skate, this isn't the place for you.

Advice to Management

Keep on track to improve process improvement (e.g., documentation creation, review, and tracking).

Continue the aggressive hiring effort to reduce the load.
