Pros
- Level of Difficulty. I was hired for a job I am capable of handling. I am encouraged to continue gaining additional knowledge and challenging myself.
- Autonomy. However, my manager is extremely supportive and always available to provide guidance.
-Social Interactions. All of my colleagues are friendly, helpful, and seem like they enjoy their jobs. Others introduce themselves willingly. The company will often provide free swag and lunch or my colleagues will get together for lunch. There are many other company-sponsored or property mgmt related activities such as ice cream days, bbq lunches, book signing, and holiday celebrations.
- Physical Environment. Great work space, access to updated technology (hardware & software), free garage parking, free gym on-site. Free coffee/tea/cocoa/water, vending machines, and plenty of kitchen space. Top floor has a beautiful view of Fairfax and surrounding areas.
- Salary and Benefits. I am compensated fairly (including annual discretionary bonus). Benefits are comparable to other companies out there (i.e. medical/dental/vision coverage; 401k match, PTO + bday off). Other perks include on-going training and education/tuition reimbursement, access to free financial planning, gym discount, charity donation match, 4 wk paid sabbatical, 10 yr Rolex, free flu shots, and free Wolf Trap & baseball tickets.
Cons
Room for improvement (since you asked):
- more town hall meetings
- better maternity leave
- unlimited PTO or remote work options
- laptop or cell phone reimbursements
- gym reimbursement (rather than discount)
- add additional retail discounts
- start a company team (trivia, softball, soccer, bowling, bocce, etc.)
