Pros

Flexible, great benefits, usually feels like upper management cares, attempts transparency and communication.

Cons

Lately it's been hard to trust upper management due to walking back promises made about working from home. Previously it was stated that the company was committed to allowing employees to choose what fit best for them (fully remote, hybrid, or fully office) and this message was maintained until almost 2 months ago when it was suddenly announced that anyone within 50 miles of an office must come in to the office 2.5 days per week. While somewhat understandable when considering what is best for the company as well as employees, the issue is with how short notice it was. There wasn't enough notice given to allow for preparation, such as child care, buying a second car, reassessing finances to allow for increased commute expenses, etc.

Pros

Hired as remote, wonderful manager who encourages and aids career growth. My team is fantastic, the work life balance & flexibility works very well for me.

Cons

Felt like a bait & switch situation pretty soon after being hired, we were then told that we will be hybrid 50% of the time in office. Those of us who were hired as remote were required to live within 30-50 miles of an office are required to be in office 10 days a month starting this fall. But some were hired that live outside those parameters? So that requirement ended up not being true? The timing of it felt planned for my onboarding group I guess. And when complaints aired (obviously) upper management held forums in which they basically said “we gave you enough of a heads up, nothing you say is impacting our decision.” That’s really the only thing that has bothered me working here. We’ll see how it goes in the fall!
