Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits are amazing - Products are fun to work on - Easy to determine the value added - No bull atmosphere

Cons

- Things change very quickly, new features, new technologies - No bull atmosphere takes getting used to - A busy, moderately competitive atmosphere doesn't suit everyone. (I say moderately competitive, because it isn't politically competitive, but there is a need to show the value you add to the company).
