Pros

My direct team was fun. Blunt and not always polite but everyone respected each other as a SME and disagreement would never be taken personal.

Cons

As a female, and the only female on my team, it was like working in a men's locker room, everyone felt it was OK to make offensive comments and some clearly got further in career by unprofessional relationships. There was a click of some very senior execs and if you find your way in ton , then you can do no wrong. Reorg is annual and it always happens before annual review so new supervisor doesn't have info/ reason to give bonus or keep you on the team at all. If you do get a bonus most of it is stock and they take it back when you leave or are let go regardless of reason.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
