Pros

Lots of autonomy, able to take on more work as the desk was short staffed, lots of friendly people

Cons

Disorganized as it was short staffed, lack of communication and too many people with differing interests, ego's, across multiple time zones working on the same projects, very long hours and lack of consideration for employee work/ life balance
