Pros
- the team I am on is friendly and hard-working - Flexible PTO
Cons
- many teams are obstinate about introducing new processes that will make things streamlined and more transparent - culture used to be transparent and friendly, leadership has become more closed off and hostile to employees - pay is middling, I was promoted and my pay raise was about an inflation adjustment - incapable of making quick decisions. I thought one of the benefits of being a small company meant there would be less tortured decision making - many things I liked about the job are falling away (I.e. mandatory RTO removes opportunities for flexibility) - Mandatory RTO (MWF) but no promises on making it easier to go to the office - open plan office with no reserved desks and few private quiet rooms for calls, no guaranteed covered parking in AZ heat (this will be the first time I’ll have to pay for parking to go to work) - Constant reorganizations that make systems management unbelievably painful because they won’t invest in implementing APIs or system integrations
