Pros

(I can only speak about the IT Dept. at HQ because that's where I work) 1) Great laid back company culture 2) Friendly coworkers and management 3) incredible benefits 4) competitive pay 5) Room for growth and progress within the organzation 6) Flexible work style and envirement 7) Invests greatly in employees job satisfaction 8) Encourages and invests in employees getting certifications and developing new skills 9) Apprenticeship opportunity and other programs giving people with little to no experience the chance to break into tech

Cons

From my experience working here so far there are very little cons but if I'm being notpicky here is the list. 1) Not all apprenticeships within the company are ran the same way some are a lot more structured and organized than others so you might be either pleasently supprised or disapointed by how prepared they are to train and teach you as well as the projects they have instored for you. 2) Be prepared to be a self starter and ask questions, people are very busy here and if you do not reach out and ask questions or seek out information for yourself you will not do well. 3) Though as I've previously stated in my last point communication is key, people here again are very busy so be patient as there might be longer delays than expected in response time and you may have to remind people to get back to you 4) Due to the rapid growth in the company there is never a lack of work to do so if you reach out and ask for work expect to be very busy 5) If you lack experience you might be intimidated by some of the technology you will be using as some of them have a learning curve, personally ServiceNow was one of them 6) This isn't really a con it's just a matter of personal preference but the company in heading back towards being an in office environment so even though employees are currentlyt working under a hybrid work environmetn expect to be back in office full time in the near future

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
