Pros
Good benefits, growth opportunities that exceed most in the area and relatively little bureaucracy. "Work hard, play hard" mentality (some beer Fridays, blocks of free tickets to local sporting events, health club membership, company-sponsored events / outings, etc.). "Lead or be led" culture, which often allows employees to take on what they can handle (vs. confining and rigid job definitions) and making it easier to positively impact key constituents. Company has been deliberate about bolstering the existing talent level across many areas. SciQuest has many fun, experienced and smart employees that are great to work with.
Cons
Company has high expectations for employees and holds them accountable. Tendency to offer candid and direct feedback. With a heavy reliance on agile methodologies and rapid growth, there are times when there is some ambiguity and uncertainty at the start of a project / year. Exciting for some, likely frustrating for others.
