Pros

Culturally diverse, decent pay, great work environment, " work family", flexible work schedules, flexible PTO, good raises, opportunities for advancement both personally and professionally.

Cons

Not enough "full" time positions, dealing with Minnesota and Colorado people at times, benefits for contractors are non-existing, contractors don't have access to everything full- timers do.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
