Business outlook

Pros

Pace of work is challenging but rewarding Unbeatable lifestyle in Portland, Oregon relative to Wall Street firms Good compensation but success-based with entry-level below market Constant exposure to leading edge technologies

Cons

Internet IT practices are relatively weak (still a small firm IT budget) Traveling to/from Portland can be cumbersome relative to limited number of direct flights Employee-owned firm so focus on growing profitability sometimes overshadows reinvesting
