Pros

Work flexibility, and good compensation.

Cons

Oldschool management and thinking. Very corporate. Bureaucratic. People are in the wrong role and cannot do their job. Recruiting processes are sloppy, we are not recruiting the right people and for the right jobs well enough and this is a burden on the teams because we don't know how to fire them.

Pros

worked here for 4 years and quit to progress my career: 1. Work life balance is great. 2. A lot of the people are really fun and there's definitely a lot of help if you need it. 3. Really open to learning and continuing your learning

Cons

oh man after 4 years you definitely start seeing the cracks: 1. Open discrimination against men is pretty tolerant here, I.E. opportunities and events only women can attend and sign up here. 2. You're underpaid from day 1, don't expect that to change, the next year's new grads will come in at a higher pay than you. 3. Career progression doesn't happen too often, you'll definitely get the work but never the monetary or career recognition. 4. Some pretty toxic LGBTQ+ people I.E. I was told it was "good that I was discriminated against because I'm not a minority."
