Pros

Salaries are decent considering the size of the company, the environment is really relaxed but this also a con in its own way.

Cons

The executive team doesn't manage or provide clear direction. There is tons of favoritism and protection for long term employees that don't perform, which discourages newer and/or higher performing employees and creates a negative environment. There is a significant lack of internal controls and a tendency to do everything manually simply because "that's the way we've always done it" which is disturbing considering that it is a business intelligence company. Management is too preoccupied with social activities and planning trips and not concerned enough with providing their employees with the resources or environment needed to effectively do their jobs. It is a very close knit but negative environment; you'll hear management gossiping about employees of all levels on almost a daily basis, and their lack of professionalism is appalling. Everyone seems concerned with placing blame and not with fixing procedural issues, and the executive team is too afraid to be the bad guy to their employees so long-standing problems never get fixed.

Pros

I had a wonderful time there. I moved from multiple departments as I grew and worked on many fun projects. I learned a lot from working with my managers and COO. Everyone was fun and I was able to speak my mind.

Cons

Nothing major. I had some conflicts of speed of return on deliverables and starting things from development.
