Pros

Worked on a team that has been incredibly supportive and invested in my growth and development. From day one, my colleagues have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and valued, offering words of affirmation and encouragement whenever I need it. One of the things I appreciate most about my team is their willingness to invest in me as a person, not just an employee. They take the time to understand my interests, strengths, and career goals, and actively seek out opportunities to help me develop new skills and take on new challenges. Another great thing about working with such an awesome team is the sense of camaraderie and collaboration that we share. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand or offer support when needed, and there's a real sense of teamwork and shared purpose that makes coming to work each day a real pleasure.

Cons

The onboarding process was quite disorganized and confusing, with a lot of information and procedures left undefined or unclear. It took me some time to figure out my role and responsibilities, and I think a more structured and well-defined onboarding process would have made things a lot easier. In addition, there were some issues with the job description and expectations. Although I was excited about the role when I accepted it, I soon discovered that there were some important aspects of the job that were not fully explained or outlined. This led to some confusion and frustration on my part, and I think clearer communication and more specific expectations would have been helpful.

Pros

The benefits package cannot be met elsewhere. More time off than I have seen at any other company and support for new parents.

Cons

Often overworking employees. Does not offer cost of living adjustments. Claims to support work/life balance but does not provide the opportunity for it. Will spend money each year on new benefits to provide to employees, but employees have more benefits than they can use.
