Pros

- Great coworkers - everyone is very hardworking, passionate, friendly, and helpful - Benefits - DEI initiatives, culture, values

Cons

- Unlivable wages. For a company that requires many people to come into the DC/RVA offices, the pay is laughable. Many colleagues of mine are spending almost 50% of their monthly income on rent. Oh also-there's no such thing as a 'signing bonus' or any type of bonus for that matter here. What you see is what you get until you're up for review. No hand-outs. - Hard to maintain a work-life balance when you are poor and work over 40 hours a week - Burnout - Lack of upward mobility

Pros

Had a history of supporting employee needs (e.g. hybrid)

Cons

- has become obsessed with in-office culture and "being present" (i.e., super limited full remote roles now), would not be surprised if the exec team submits a RTO mandate soon - compensation is under what you should receive, regardless of tenure or level. The amount of work far outpaces your salary. -because of the point above, burnout and a culture of irritability is omnipresent. - do NOT take the senior promotion, it just results in more work (you do multiple smaller projects in addition to your current workload and now lead trainings) and a small pay increase that does not even match inflation. - expectation that less senior staff have to interpret everything, big lack of clarity between need-to-have feedback and preference-edit feedback - instead of annual raises that match inflation, you get to spend full days quarterly with the team talking about topics that have nothing to do with your day-to-day - Management has become very clique-y, good luck moving into management if you're not already a part of the clique (or fully remote) - Unpaid overtime is expected but you will get shamed for not doing everything during the workday. - We currently work with the military and with the police as recruitment strategists so ICE will probably be next
