Pros

Very nice, committed colleagues. Best ever company culture in my entire career (>20 years). Organization led by the researcher who built the company from scratch.

Cons

Development had couple of failures in 2021-2022 that emptied the portfolio which triggered organizational changes.

Pros

Everyone really cares. People work hard but they are doing it for the scholars. I leave work every day knowing that I am making a difference.

Cons

It is a lot of work. My first year it was tough but as I really became adept at teaching things began to flow.
