Excellent perks, wellness and work-life balance

Engineering technical writer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Not like other tech companies. I find my job engaging and challenging, but I don't feel like I've had to sacrifice my wellbeing to enjoy the benefits of working in tech, - Great community. My coworkers are kind, respectful and genuinely affable. - Private office space helps with focus - Outings and social activities with the team - Coordinated volunteer days, and good community investment.

Cons

- Strict in-office policy. Even though we all have the tools necessary to work fully remote, doing so long-term is rarely a possibility. I have known more than a handful of people who loved this job but left because they could not get long term remote work approval. - Office location is less than ideal, for my preference. I would love to be able to get to work by foot, bike or public transit, but the office location is quite car centric. If there was a city office, it would make this job actually perfect. - tools could use some modernization
