One man show.
Pros: Great brand and marketing. Cool products. Beer bashes are fun if you have time to get there.
Cons: Steve makes almost all decisions, big or small, irrespective of others opinions and thoughts.

Very unforgiving. Mistakes, big or small, are not tolerated. Compensation is average at best. Benefits are mediocre for a company this size and profitable. Too many contractors that don't share the same pride for the work. Internal secrecy and lack of process makes things chaotic and thus you are always scrambling to meet deadlines. Work-life balance can be a major problem, you are always taking home work.
