The culture: My company is very fast-paced but supportive. Everyone knows how to work incredibly hard, but they also know how to play even harder.

Constantly motivated and challenged; Learn something new every day; More responsibility than any other company; Opportunities to present to the Leadership team.
Being in control of my day, my job and my destiny.
Cons
Steep learning curve initially.
The Hours - The nature of the business means that you are working relatively long hours, but the office is a fun place to be so time doesn't drag.
Being in control means there's no one else to blame when things go wrong.
Very Demanding - long hours and high pressure.
Co-ordination of different functions.
