Pros

Very progressive culture. Feels very inclusive. People I've worked with are good at what they do and care about the mission. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Slow to promote. Stuck at bottom of my pay band. Dev and QA, and Data teams are all from a pool of contractors so someone can roll off your project and you won't even know it till they stop going to meetings. Loss of knowledge because everything is contracted out. Lots of paperwork (SOWs) to fill out to get people to work on your product/project.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
