Pros

Flexible working hours and access to some interesting technology.

Cons

Literally one of the most toxic environments you will ever encounter. Employees are almost incentivised to inform on one another to the point that even if a conversation is overheard or misinterpreted, it can land you in some SERIOUS trouble. That also applies to conversations and social gatherings that take place outside of work too. My advice to anyone that has to attend the office is to keep your head down, say as little as possible and be very mindful of what you say, how you say it and the people that are around you. If you can work remotely, do just that. Don't expect a team environment unless you like walking on eggshells.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
