      Pros

      They pay a lot especially for a not for profit. Many upper level employees have been given retention bonuses to stay. Not something that signals a great culture where people stay for other reasons other than pay. Benefits are good but they just added a 'sabbatical' to start in 2023. That's asking a lot to use it and not worth staying in a company like this for 4 weeks off once every 5 years.

      Cons

      Where do I start? It's horrible. Lay offs, upper leadership not knowing how to focus the employee base on the most important work, leaders having huge egos which cause in-fighting, HR is not helpful or effective at all. Toxic, fear-based culture

      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.
