Pros
G1 has competitive benefits and pay. HQ is nice. They require and pay for professional development. Everyone is nice and knowledgeable. They offer employee appreciate perks a few times a year. They recently introduced employee resource groups. There truly is an atmosphere of inclusion and accepting people as they are.
Cons
They love meetings, under the guise of collaboration and building connections. Collaboration is great, but not everything needs to be discussed face to face. G1 claims to offer work life balance and flexible schedules, but this is an exaggeration. Everyone in my department works late or on the weekends to catch up, especially since they can't use work time to study for the certifications G1 requires. And while there is a little flexibility, it's not much and is very dependent on your manager. You go into the office to have a teams meeting, either with people working from home or people who are in the office but don't want to leave their desk. If it's possible for you to do your job from home 2 days a week, it's possible to do it from home 5 days a week. I'd rather G1 stop offering employee appreciate days and instead let employees decide how often they need to work from home.
