Pros

I really enjoy working at Ascend. My manager encourages work-life balance and I have flexibility when it comes to my schedule. As long as I get my work done, there isn't a lot of micromanaging. The benefits are above average. I feel good about the work I do and how it makes people's lives better.

Cons

There aren't many downsides to working here. Growing pains can leave different departments VERY busy at times, but that's what happens when a company grows quickly! The only other con I can think of is that the senior team of leaders is almost all men. They're all good leaders, it just doesn't set a great example for women wanting to advance their careers here.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
