Pros

Work-Life Balance: Flexible work hours and a strong hybrid policy helped me maintain a healthy balance. Time-off requests were always respected. Benefits: Competitive salary, strong healthcare coverage, generous PTO, and ongoing professional development stipends.

Cons

Pace of Change: At times, organizational changes and new initiatives are rolled out quickly without full clarity or training, leading to some initial confusion. Cross-Team Communication: While internal communication within teams is strong, coordination between departments can be inconsistent, causing delays on cross-functional projects.

Pros

Good pay, abundant amount of PTO days

Cons

Have to schedule PTO well before date to get approved. PTO approval is based upon seniority and your metric statistics. Card members can be demanding / rude / entitled and will lead the call if you don’t take ownership. Schedule choice is based on seniority and stats.
