Pros

Very flexible work environment: easy to work from home, other offices, and take time off. Also, great colleagues who are very good at what they do.

Cons

Poor leadership/management. Pay is market median. No link between performance and rewards: your rewards are based on whether the company as a whole does well. Company is notorious for making promises and not following through.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
