Pros
Great location, colleagues who want to grow.
Cons
Lots of skilled colleagues who want to grow, but are limited by a COO who's bored with his chosen field and fancies himself a technologist, placing himself hands-on with work he's got no training in and should be delegating instead. Puts an impossible cap on technical excellence because the clear, but unwritten, rule is that no one can progress further with a technology than the COO's current ability to pick up that technology and implement it. No one at the board or executive level holds him accountable to focus on the job title he actually holds.
