Pros

The benefits and most of the cowokers. A laid back atmosphere for the most part. The discount helps too! There is coworker meals with discounts too.

Cons

Low pay! You work your behind off, get a good review...and you get a 50cent raise. Pretty hard to stay motivated after that. They support growth and developement but when it is time to switch to another role...again they dont want to pay you for what you are worth!

Cons

• Balancing customer facing expectations with project deadlines • Scope creep with cross team processes and reporting • Managers often leaned on me for more than my formal responsibilities, which led to overextension

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
