Pros
Management has done a wonderful of hiring employees who are both fun to work with and passionate about excellence. We can have fun on the ball-field at night, and that just enhances our ability to collaborate at work. It's fun and rewarding to associate with people of other disciplines. Over the years my co-workers and bosses have helped me improve my knowledge level, performance and work satisfaction. It's a great feeling knowing that each day you are contributing, not only to your own success but to others' success as well.
Cons
Periodic deadlines can be high pressure. So much so that it is practically euphoric when you meet them. High fives and congratulations all around. It is really rewarding to challenge yourself and succeed together with people you enjoy associating with.
