Pros

For the most part I like the people who work here Decent work-life balance Flexibility to telecommute Wellness program & free gym Charitable giving programs - lots of opportunities for volunteer/charity work Lots of focus on employee programs Opportunities for training

Cons

-Political games - We get caught up in doing work that just doesn't make sense for the company as -a whole but we do it anyway because someone wants to do things a certain way Due to a core value of "know the details" there seems to be a tendency to micromanage -Powerpoint is used way too much -Broken processes and silos - not enough sense of "we are all in this together" and let's work something out that makes sense for the company. Tendency is to protect departmental interests first -Understanding of project management varies among leaders -Too many competing priorities

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.
