Pros

They are very employee driven, and promote work life balance and financial preparation. You work on a wide variety of projects. Everyone was welcoming and inclusive.

Cons

You are pulled off projects at any moment so you never get to feel the satisfaction of completing a project and taking ownership of it. They state that they are open to learning however I was ignored multiple times only to find out they pushed someone into learning something that they were not interested in although I had been pratically begging for 2 years! I was told I would have to take outside courses and teach myself which was not true for others. They have a lot of discussions about processes, what doesn't work and what can be done better, but nothing changes. Some PMs do NOT know what they are doing, give poor direction, and do everything different ways so you feel like you always in a tornado and never really on solid ground.
