Pros

Some of the kindest, most talented and supportive folks I've worked with. Workplace culture has improved since the shift to remote work.

Cons

The lack of a clear development process means project management is all over the place, leading to lots of miscommunication and avoidable crunch. Frustrating to say the least. In the pre-COVID workplace, efforts by management to project a fun, happy-go-lucky attitude and environment felt disingenuous and at times downright disrespectful. I'm concerned that once work becomes in-person again, this issue will present itself again.

Pros

Since joining the company, I’ve seen continuous growth and meaningful change for the better. M&D fosters one of the most welcoming and friendly work environments I’ve experienced. It’s a place you can truly be proud to work, not just because of their commitment to delivering quality products, but also because of the genuine care they show for their people.

Cons

The company is in a phase of transformation and integration which comes with its pain points.
