A great place for high performers who are also a cultural fit.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Overall compensation (including performance bonuses) can be very good after being there a few years and establishing yourself as a high performer - How you interact and treat others is as important as the work that gets done - Smart people and interesting work - Decision-making is deliberate and thoughtful - Culture of peer reviews (of your work/project and of your performance)

Cons

- Can be hard for new people to establish credibility - Decision-making can be too slow sometimes - If you can't fit within the culture, you are doomed (I think this is more of a pro than a con)
