Pros

Challenging work Everyone rallies together to solve problems Big on teamwork and customer focus Live out their core values, not just lip service

Cons

There are times when work/life balance can be challenging, but it's not a way of life. Company grew really fast. As such not all the processes and training could hold up to the scaling; many diving catches to insure the customer didn't suffer.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
