Pros
Interesting, busy, and challenging work. For the most part, an intelligent, hard working, competent, and congenial group of people. A strong process orientation especially on the technical side. Company is trying to improve processes to manage the growth which has been significant. Not overly level conscious culture. Most employees take ownership over their jobs/work product.
Cons
Excessive micro-management. Distrust of employees. Culture of nepotism. Some positions are filled not by the most qualified individual but by virtue of who they know in the company with preference given to family members. This has a detrimental affect on the business and employee morale. Family members are given preferential treatment and opportunities not offered to the "rank and file, such as, working remotely (telework or virtual). Employees not empowered to make decisions (little authority) even at the senior leadership level. Risk taking not encouraged or supported. Managers don't "walk the talk." "Do as I say, not as I do," mentality. Managers have a different set of rules for themselves and hold their employees to a higher standard. Work life/family life balance can be a challenge at times. Opportunities for bonuses are not equitably applied. Benefits and pay fair not great.
