Pros

Collaborative/team environment, friendly work culture, excellent salary and benefits, work-life balance (9/80 work schedule), training opportunities

Cons

Can be bureaucratic and political at times, coaching for training and career planning could have been better, during (and after) my tenure there was a lot of movement out of downstream into upstream, which could be a sign of either low morale or poor career opportunities compared to other parts of the business

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
