Pros

Unlimited PTO Great, smart teams Great WFH equipment

Cons

Lots of disparate tools for your role that don’t integrate or have master level users so they become a mess and impossible to use No one is the decider on priorities so things slide down and come back up and slide and come back. Health benefits are pricey Pay is less that market rates Lots of people leaving and not being backfilled

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
