Pros

Great people who are very smart and think out of the box. The technology (TMOS) rocks!! Hard work and teamwork is valued! You pushed to think out of the box and allowed to speak your mind.

Cons

Can be pigeon holed into one role. Management team is becoming very political. Influx of new hires recently who would never have been hired a few years ago.
