Pros

* Management is willing to let employees to step up and take initiatives * Flexible and balanced work hours * Flat structure

Cons

* Everyone is equal: competent or incompetent. A variation of ""From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." * Unwilling to experiment in new technology or new developments unless absolutely required * Extremely bureaucratic at times

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
