    If someone is fortunate enough to engage with a company that provides all the key points you listed, in my opinion, they have found the perfect job with the perfect company. The only fear for someone that has all these things is that senior management has to answer to owners and stockholders. They are never in the conversation about the company’s future, especially in the case of a sale, this could change their lives dramatically.
