      If you're a woman or POC you will get paid less

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great colleagues, a lot of in-office perks, ability to work from home regularly

      Cons

      They willingly and knowingly have been paying women and POC less for doing the same job. My male counterpart's starting salary was $10,000 more a year than mine. I brought this up to management 1.5 years into working here and they did give me a raise BUT I'm still making less than his starting salary and he'll be getting a raise as well.

      Cliquish, Disorganized, Demoralized

      Manufacturing lead

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salaries is not bad; get to learn a lot about data management and sometimes make connections with people in real companies. Easy job.

      Cons

      The culture is toxic and defeatist, backstabbing is rampant, and senior management could not be more self-concerned, aloof or disinterested. Politics are stifling and strategies change daily.

      Pros

      In downtown. Nothing more.

      Cons

      No real leadership or vision. There is a reorg every 6 months or less. Tons of politics. Oh by the way, no merit increases for the past 2 years and this year they push back the day for increases till end of the year! Talent is leaving fast!
