Pros

I really like what the company stands for and their non-profit status. They do a lot of work for the community. They are up-to-date on technology and sometimes offer cool perks. I enjoyed working for the actual company.

Cons

The biggest con to working for this company is that once you are in a department, you may be stuck there for life. One manager has the ability to crush your professional development, even if you are applying for another department. I am not receiving the growth opportunities I would like and feel very stagnant in my current position.

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.
