Pros
Potential for growth, project autonomy, the people, fun events I've worked at NAB for 2.5 years, and I've grown and learned SO much here. If you have a positive attitude and a passion to learn, branch out and connect with others, innovate and problem solve, etc., you can thrive in this environment. My leader respects and nurtures my need for autonomy and creative thinking; as a result, I've been able to leave my thumbprint on a lot of projects and processes. I have a great relationship with her as well as with the rest of my colleagues, which includes leaders and employees from other departments and companies. You'll hear over and over again that this place is fast-paced and changes often, and that's not a bad thing. As a result, there's a lot of energy here, and the days fly by - I'm never bored. In fact, there are a lot of fun events that take place here, including costume contests, cube decorating, online puzzles and games, guest speakers, yoga, free themed lunches, etc. I also think I'm fairly compensated. The salary and benefit offerings are far more robust than they were at my previous place of employment. As at any workplace, you get out what you put in. There are so many opportunities here to learn, connect, develop new skills, have a voice, start something new, and have fun - you just have to take advantage of them.
Cons
Sometimes, because we move so quickly, we don't spend enough time to perfect what we're working on before we move onto something new.
