Pros

Friendly PTO policy, would be burned out without taking a lot of time off

Cons

-Terrible compensation package and work-life balance, hourly salary, RSU package is nothing compared to other teams -Major divides in regional knowledge and structure, management making major decisions in the northeast and they can't even tell you what the GW bridge is -What was supposed to be working one holiday and one weekend a year turned into 4 each - Management is tight on employees taking overtime but could care less about storage payments/mistakes that are $10k+, those that go above and beyond are not rewarded even if it means 15 minutes of overtime for saving the company in a $20k storage charge - Upward mobility is non -existent, 1.5-2yrs for specialist or associate to get promoted minimum, push for outside hiring/contractor hiring means you really have no chance - Toxic work environment between teams as operations is looked severely down upon, work culture becomes unbearable and un-motivating

Work/life balance could be better. Being on a path to regular promotion means serious workloads.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
