Pros

Pay is competitive, work-life balance depends on which group you work in. It's easy to take time off but only because management is unaware of what work is actually being done.

Cons

Upper management and directors are so far out of touch with reality and have zero interest in hearing the truth from employees. They solicit feedback but ignore any constructive criticism. People are treated like pawns. Constant re-organizations so your job is always at risk and/or changing. Employees actually CRY from stress on a regular basis here! I wish I were joking. It's an absolute mess. I have never seen so many people on the verge of having a nervous breakdown.

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.
