Pros

Community support activities are superior to any other company. Millions of dollars are given each year to end domestic violence and support improvements in access to healthcare. There are also many thousands of dollars earned each year to support organizations within each of the communities where a work site is located.

Cons

If you do not want to work 70 hours/week, get out. If you are not type A, get out. There is absolutely no 'human' interactions from the new leadership - answers need to be yes, anything you say, or you will be managed out of the company. People are used up and spit out - there is always another in line waiting to fill a position. Minimal communication from leadership above manager, and when there was - it always came with a "twist" on the truth; wording of messages was VERY careful so it could later become the polar opposite of the message.

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.
