Pros

Interesting, meaningful, and challenging work; managers can be a hit or miss but mine were always really good and helped me grow a lot, didn't micromanage, and cared about their employees; developed great programming skills; gained responsibility quickly

Cons

Unfortunately, some of my pros listed above are a function of the team you work on. Some managers really help you develop as a critical thinker/programmer/etc and give you many opportunities to gain responsibility, but I don't think this is something all managers do.

Acumen Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your work here at Acumen and that you were able to grow.
