Pros

Super kind and understanding leadership. They make you feel valued for the good work you do. If you prove you know what you're doing, they won't micromanage. Yearly reviews and pay raises. Remote work.

Cons

Even though I've received raises each year, the topic of promotion or title change has not been brought up.
