Pros

The office environment is very welcoming and people have been very helpful as I have settled into my new role. I have only been at the company for 2 weeks, but already have a basic understanding of my responsibilities and what my day-to-day responsibilities are. From day one I was trusted with tasks and my input is valued in team meetings.

Cons

People here are very driven to succeed and it seems like most people view this office as a stepping stone to make it to their next career move. That said, many people do stay within the company for many years. On another note, it has taken some time getting all of the proper login credentials and onboarding in general ( I am sure that is the same at most companies of this nature).

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
