Pros

Allowed to work from home most days. Required one day a month.

Cons

The 401k match is a joke. PTO accrual is insulting. And the kicker? I work for a health insurance company and still have to pay for health insurance. Let that sink in. They “restructured” salary bands recently—a convenient excuse to push people further down the pay scale. I was hired at mid-range. After the restructure, I magically landed at the bottom of the new range. When I brought this up and asked to be paid what I’m worth (around $120k), my boss had the audacity to say, “Giving you more money is a hard one for me to swallow.” Meanwhile, they’re raking in hundreds of thousands more than me. So now I give them exactly what they pay for: low-range effort for a low-range salary. If you’re thinking of bringing your talent here, do yourself a favor—don’t. They’ll exploit your skills, gaslight you when you ask for fair compensation, and then act shocked when you stop going above and beyond.

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.
