Pros

ethical work, good work-life balance, pleasant colleagues

Cons

While the day-to-day work is manageable, there is a noticeable lack of investment in junior talent; Junior staff are encouraged to pursue internal opportunities, only to face "ghosting" or opaque hiring timelines. It is common to see internal expertise undervalued in favor of external hires. People are utilized for their labor without any clear path to permanence or advancement. Decisions regarding staffing and roles are made abruptly and communicated poorly, making it difficult for junior employees to feel any sense of job security or professional respect.
