Avantages
* Having a mission-driven company with a meaningful customer group gives a sense of purpose.
* The Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP) gives a common goal throughout the company, which cuts back on the corporate politics I've encountered at other companies.
* Leadership is investing in modernization, so being able to help update mature processes leaves an opportunity to make an impact.
* Company culture generally values personal improvement, offering investments in personal training and goals that feel supportive of one's career.
Inconvénients
* Decision-making can be slower than in less regulated industries. Although necessary, the combination of compliance, legal review, governance, etc. can make things feel like the move slow for someone accustomed to nimble decision making.
* Modernization requires patience and employees have to manage expectations of timeline on some of the corporate improvements.
