I could work from home with flexible work teams, flexible hours, a creative environment. The tools were state of the art.
Cons
The company was inadequately funded and this prevented them from take it to the next step. Eventually they were acquired by Boeing . Key leaders in the company departed early.
Not crazy like a startup yet intense, focussed work.
Cons
Company's ability to execute and generate increasing revenue, small size makes it hard if you end up with an manager that you don't gel with. The only way is out.
