No micro-managing! Not punitive when mistakes are made - more of a "learn from your mistakes" type of place. Flexible hours, casual attire, fun atmosphere! Staff can work remotely and there's opportunities to travel the world! Can't get much better than that.
Cons
High workload. Work/life balance can be difficult to maintain due to this. But the flexible hours and the ability to work at home help with this a lot.

Dedicated, passionate team, especially in the senior management. Committed to getting it right, receptive to feedback, and supportive of staff.
Unique position within the industry - large enough for lots of opportunities but still with a family business feeling
Cons
Some positions are very hard for a work/life balance
Too much travel = relationships can suffer
Stressful at times
A company of highly skilled individuals working toward a single mission. Employees are valued for their talents and encouraged to work toward both professional and personal growth. Senior leadership is constantly working to be more transparent, open, and honest which is a welcome change from other organizations. Great company culture, benefits, no micromanaging, flexible schedule, and awesome travel opportunities.
Cons
Most positions end up wearing many hats which I personally enjoy, but might not be a fit for everyone. Work + life balance can be a challenge, along with working remote. Room for growth in some positions is limited.
