Pros

Supportive supervisors/direct line managers. Interesting work and ever changing technologies. Opportunity to work with non-profits and to help them do their work better. Plenty of opportunities to take on new challenges and responsibilities to build your experience level.

Cons

Very low salaries. The company over-relys on college new hires and outsourcing to keep costs low. Experience and longevity are not rewarded or valued. You have to move up quick or risk being totally stagnant. Senior leadership get in the way of actual work. Frustrating to see the same issues reoccur year after year, suggest changes and have solutions hit the trash heap in a political nightmare.

Pros

Nothing significant to highlight here.

Cons

Frequent layoffs and lack of job security create a stressful environment. Management lacks clarity and consistency. Short employment spans (as little as 40 days) raise concerns about hiring practices. It's difficult to focus on work when you're constantly worried about job stability.
