Pros

With so many changes over the last 18 months I am happy/excited to growth in this company. In-Office has always been a must but with the changing of the guards and covid, work from home has become a reality that has proven to work for many. Directors allow people to make decisions and really own their department responsibilities without feeling micromanaged. Pay, Benefits, and room for growth are all now real things we can be happy about.

Cons

As with any changes, come many difficulties. The communication and understanding with new roles, expectations, etc is not 100% clear. We are all dealing with growing pains and its pretty frustrating at times but the hope is that once we are all aligned, this place will will flourish. We are all overworked at the moment but again, as the dust begins to settle, this should all settle as well.

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.
