Pros

- Individual team culture can be great - Areas for growth and opportunities to absorb a lot of information - Great onboarding experience that helps bring you up to speed on the org - IT department is always friendly and willing to help - Diversity with types of work due to all the different offerings the company has

Cons

- Teams/departments lack the ability to replicate process, there is poor organization, and efficiency is very low (too many stakeholders, confusion around who needs to be involved in what projects) - A lot of restructuring and layoffs leading to overall decreased moral and certainty - Easy to reach a state of burnout - Requires in-office 3 days a week as a mandatory and is not flexible for individual and team wants/needs (this is micromanaged at the highest level in the org) - The org/leaders don't face critical problems head-on with clear communication - Silos between teams and departments lead to lack of role clarity

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.
