Pros
Privately held by an inspirational CEO who is out to change the world, not just make a buck. Benefits are generous, especially the stakeholder quarterly bonus plan, which rewards employees based on business fundamentals, not the whims of the stock market. The company is managed for the long term and financially sound.
Kontras
With growth corporate processes are becoming increasingly bureaucratic and rigid. It is getting harder to get work done, solve customer problems, and sell product. Internal support policies often prioritize cost savings to the detriment of employee productivity. CEO is inspirational but not all senior management is: double standards in some corners regarding core values ("rational workplace") and quality initiatives.
