Pros

- great benefits - remote work - flexibility - quiet weeks during summer and fall - great co-workers

Cons

Managers at this company need to be trained in employee relations, empathy, and overall how to be a leader. The day my family member died, my manager asked me when I was returning to work. The appropriate response would have been “take all the time you need”. There are also no conversations regarding professional growth and development and dare if you want a promotion you have to practically beg for it. Another manager was talking badly about their direct reports to me, that’s extremely unprofessional.

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.
