Pros

Flexible telecommute, decent pay range, public transport accessible for corporate location.

Cons

Each new management changes direction and wipes processes that were just put in place. C executives and VP s come and go every 2-3 years just there long enough to claim some change and leave with a fat package. CEO sounds genuine but reality below is not supporting the best place to work other than to score better with bandaids. Lay offs affect retained knowledge and kill morale. Constant new hires having to reinvent everything all over again when process was already there so every time a director or manager turns (which is usually every 1.5 - 2 years) over, the cycle starts again. Always scrambling to figure out what exactly they are supposed to do. Dueling management would rather let another team fail to prove something rather than work together to fix it. They don't have the company or the member's interest at heart at all even though they spout how mission driven they are. Hires outside consultants to do work the people in that role should know then claims that as a win when they've spent that much money yet the team still don't know how to do the work. Unbelievable.

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.
