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

Full autonomy with little responsibility yet high compensation. Seems like this would be contrary to popular opinion but this was the case. They have a leading-edge technology and are willing to manage and compensate their employees who perform. It was a great experience. I would still be there if my personal circumstances didn't have me needing to move out of state.

Cons

Too much time off doesn't allow the staff to focus. Everyone was busy planning their next vacation.
