Pros

Benefits, definitely not a good pay.

Cons

Don't expect to move up in this company. They will overload you with work and if you do manage to work hard the management will take credit for your work. Turnover is very high. Expect to work constantly. I had two weekends off in 6 months. Shifts are not regular. In one week you may work various shifts, mornings or evenings.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
