Innovative Company with Great Culture

Pros

Hanover is the perfect place for creative hard-working people who want to innovate and grow in their careers. It’s also great for people who enjoy structure and just want to do their job, then go home. The company culture completely embraces continuous improvement and innovation, employees at every level are encouraged to share their ideas and contribute, so the restless souls who always need a challenge to tackle will be able to thrive. At the same time, the work is structured and projects/ deadlines are clearly defined so it’s just as easy to succeed by simply showing up and doing the work, no above and beyond required. Investments in AI and new software to improve the internal work experience have created time for employees to contribute to new initiatives. Other pros: fully remote, full 12 weeks of parental leave including paternity, highly structured and supportive onboarding, and the chance to quickly learn/apply research skills. And the people are the best!

Cons

Below market pay and burnout, uneven resourcing across departments
