Pros

Work-life balance, if you are not busy schmoozing your way up the corporate ladder.

Cons

- Corporate politics and hierarchy - Clueless leadership, perpetuated by bad "gut" decisions - Leadership not held accountable to annual employee survey (aka "great place to work" survey). Interesting how there are a lot of new employee events that happen around the time of this survey. - Does not value young talent/millennials

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.
